1 The Proverbs of Solomon: A wise child makes a father rejoice, but a foolish child is a grief to his mother.

2 Treasures gained by wickedness do not profit, but righteousness delivers from mortal danger.

3 The LORD satisfies the appetite of the righteous, but he thwarts the craving of the wicked.

4 The one who is lazy becomes poor, but the one who works diligently becomes wealthy.

5 The one who gathers crops in the summer is a wise son, but the one who sleeps during the harvest is a son who brings shame to himself.
