3The Lord will not famish a righteous soul: But he will overthrow the life of the ungodly.
4Poverty brings a man low: But the hands of the vigorous make rich.
4aA son who is instructed shall be wise, And shall use the fool for a servant.
5A wise son is saved from heat: But a lawless son is blighted of the winds in harvest.
6The blessing of the Lord is upon the head of the just: But untimely grief shall cover the mouth of the ungodly.
7The memory of the just is praised; But the name of the ungodly man is extinguished.
8A wise man in heart will receive commandments; But he that is unguarded in his lips shall be overthrown in his perverseness.
