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.
7 The memory of the righteous is blessed,But the name of the wicked will rot.
8 The wise in heart will receive commands,But a prating fool will fall.
9 He who walks with integrity walks securely,But he who perverts his ways will become known.
