1 The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son makes a father glad, But a foolish son is a grief to his mother.

2 Ill-gotten gains do not benefit, But righteousness rescues from death.

3 The LORD will not allow the righteous to hunger, But He will reject the craving of the wicked.

4 Poor is one who works with a lazy hand, But the hand of the diligent makes rich.

5 He who gathers in summer is a son who acts wisely, But he who sleeps in harvest is a son who acts shamefully.
