1 Proverbs of Solomon. A wise son will gladden a father: and a son of the foolish will grieve his mother.

2 Treasures of injustice shall not profit, and justice shall deliver from death.

3 Jehovah will not cause the soul of the just one to hunger: and he will thrust away the desire of the unjust.

4 A slothful hand makes poverty, and the hand of the active will make rich.

5 He gathering in summer, is a prudent son: he lying in deep sleep in harvest, a son causing shame.
