1 The Proverbs of Solomon: A wise son gives his father joy, but a foolish son is a grief to his mother.

2 Ill-gotten treasures profit nothing, but justice saves from death.

3 The LORD does not let the just go hungry, but the craving of the wicked he thwarts.

4 The slack hand impoverishes, but the busy hand brings riches.

5 A son who gathers in summer is a credit; a son who slumbers during harvest, a disgrace.
