1 The Proverbs of Solomon: A wise son makes a father glad, and a foolish son is the grief of his mother.

2 The treasures of wickedness will not bring gain, and righteousness delivers from death.

3 YHWH will not let the righteous soul go hungry, and the desire of the wicked ones He thrusts away.

4 The one making slack his hand becomes poor, and the hand of the diligent ones makes rich.

5 The one gathering in the summer is a wise son; one sleeping in the harvest is a son causing shame.
