3The LORD will not suffer the righteous to famish; But he disappointeth the craving of the wicked.
4He that worketh with a slack hand becometh poor; But the hand of the diligent maketh rich.
5He that gathereth in summer is a wise son; But he that sleepeth in harvest is a son causing shame.
6Blessings are upon the head of the just; But the mouth of the wicked concealeth violence.
7The memory of the righteous man shall be blessed; But the name of the wicked shall rot.
8He who is wise in heart receiveth precepts; But the foolish talker falleth headlong.
9He that walketh uprightly walketh securely; But he that perverteth his ways shall be punished.
10He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow; And a foolish talker falleth headlong.
11The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life; But the mouth of the wicked concealeth violence.
12Hatred stirreth up strife; But love covereth all offences.
13Upon the lips of a man of understanding wisdom is found; But a rod is for the back of him that lacketh understanding.
