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.
