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.
6Blessings are for the head of the righteous, And the mouth of the wicked cover doth violence.
7The remembrance of the righteous is for a blessing, And the name of the wicked doth rot.
