2 Treasures of wickedness profit nothing,but righteousness delivers from death.
3 The Lord will not allow the soul of the righteous to go hungry,but he thrusts away the desire of the wicked.
4 He becomes poor who works with a lazy hand,but the hand of the diligent brings wealth.
5 He who gathers in summer is a wise son,but he who sleeps during the 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 accept commandments,but a chattering fool will fall.
