Proverbs 10:4-10

⁴A lazy hand causes a person to be poor, but the hand of the diligent person gains riches.

⁵A wise son gathers a crop in the summer, but it is disgraceful for him to sleep during harvest.

⁶Gifts from God are upon the head of the righteous person, but the mouth of the wicked covers up violence.

⁷The righteous person makes those who remember him happy, but the name of the wicked will rot away.

⁸Those who are sensible accept commands, but a talkative fool will come to ruin.

⁹He who walks in integrity walks in safety, but the one who makes his ways crooked, he will be found out.

¹⁰He who winks the eye causes grief, but a talkative fool will be thrown down.
