Proverbs 10:3-14

³The Lord will not let the upright be in need of food, but he puts far from him the desire of the evil-doers.

⁴He who is slow in his work becomes poor, but the hand of the ready worker gets in wealth.

⁵He who in summer gets together his store is a son who does wisely; but he who takes his rest when the grain is being cut is a son causing shame.

⁶Blessings are on the head of the upright, but the face of sinners will be covered with sorrow.

⁷The memory of the upright is a blessing, but the name of the evil-doer will be turned to dust.

⁸The wise-hearted man will let himself be ruled, but the man whose talk is foolish will have a fall.

⁹He whose ways are upright will go safely, but he whose ways are twisted will be made low.

¹⁰He who makes signs with his eyes is a cause of trouble, but he who makes a man see his errors is a cause of peace.

¹¹The mouth of the upright man is a fountain of life, but the mouth of the evil-doer is a bitter cup.

¹²Hate is a cause of violent acts, but all errors are covered up by love.

¹³In the lips of him who has knowledge wisdom is seen; but a rod is ready for the back of him who is without sense.

¹⁴Knowledge is stored up by the wise, but the mouth of the foolish man is a destruction which is near.
