1Proverbs of Solomon. A wise son causeth a father to rejoice, And a foolish son is an affliction to his mother.
2Treasures of wickedness profit not, And righteousness delivereth from death.
3Jehovah causeth not the soul of the righteous to hunger, And the desire of the wicked He thrusteth away.
4Poor is he who is working — a slothful hand, And the hand of the diligent maketh rich.
5Whoso is gathering in summer is a wise son, Whoso is sleeping in harvest is a son causing shame.
