3The Lord will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish; but the sinful desires of the wicked will he cast away.
4He becometh poor that laboreth with an indolent hand, but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.
5He that gathereth in summer is an intelligent son; but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.
6Blessings come upon the head of the righteous; but the mouth of the wicked covereth violence.
