Proverbs 10:1-5 ▼

1 The proverbs of Solomon. A wise child makes a glad father, but a foolish child is a mother’s grief.

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

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

4 A slack hand causes poverty, but the hand of the diligent makes rich.

5 A child who gathers in summer is prudent, but a child who sleeps in harvest brings shame.
