1 The proverbs of Solomon:+b A wise son makes his father happy, but a foolish son brings grief to his mother.

2 Treasures gained dishonestly profit no one, but righteousness rescues from death.

3 The LORD will not allow a righteous person to starve, but he intentionally ignores the desires of a wicked person.

4 Lazy hands bring poverty, but hard-working hands bring riches.

5 Whoever gathers in the summer is a wise son. Whoever sleeps at harvest time brings shame.
