1 The proverbs of Solomon:A wise son makes a glad father,But a foolish son is the grief of his mother.
2 Treasures of wickedness profit nothing,But righteousness delivers from death.
3 The Lord will not allow the righteous soul to famish,But He casts away the desire of the wicked.
4 He who has a slack hand becomes poor,But the hand of the diligent makes rich.
5 He who gathers in summer is a wise son;He who sleeps in harvest is a son who causes shame.
6 Blessings are on the head of the righteous,But violence covers the mouth of the wicked.
