4 The soul of a lazy man desires, and has nothing;But the soul of the diligent shall be made rich.
5 A righteous man hates lying,But a wicked man is loathsome and comes to shame.
6 Righteousness guards him whose way is blameless,But wickedness overthrows the sinner.
7 There is one who makes himself rich, yet has nothing;And one who makes himself poor, yet has great riches.
8 The ransom of a man’s life is his riches,But the poor does not hear rebuke.
9 The light of the righteous rejoices,But the lamp of the wicked will be put out.
10 By pride comes nothing but strife,But with the well-advised is wisdom.
