Proverbs 10:3-13

³The Lord will not afflict the soul of the just with famine, and he will disappoint the deceitful practices of the wicked.

⁴The slothful hand hath wrought poverty: but the hand of the industrious getteth riches. He that trusteth to lies feedeth the winds: and the same runneth after birds that fly away.

⁵He that gathered in the harvest is a wise son: but he that snorteth in the summer, is the son of confusion.

⁶The blessing of the Lord is upon the head of the just: but iniquity covereth the mouth of the wicked.

⁷The memory of the just is with praises: and the name of the wicked shall rot.

⁸The wise of heart receiveth precepts: a fool is beaten with lips.

⁹He that walketh sincerely, walketh confidently: but he that perverteth his ways, shall be manifest.

¹⁰He that winketh with the eye shall cause sorrow: and the foolish in lips shall be beaten.

¹¹The mouth of the just is a vein of life: and the mouth of the wicked covereth iniquity.

¹²Hatred stirreth up strifes: and charity covereth all sins.

¹³In the lips of the wise is wisdom found: and a rod on the back of him that wanteth sense.
