4A slow hand hath wrought neediness; but the hand of strong men maketh ready riches. Forsooth he that enforceth to get anything by leasings, feedeth the winds; soothly the same man followeth birds flying. (Lazy hands create neediness; but strong hands create riches. He who endeavoureth to get anything by lying, feedeth the wind; yea, that person runneth after birds in flight.)
5He that gathereth together in harvest, is a wise son; but he that sleepeth in summer, is a son of confusion. (He who gathereth together at harvest time, is wise; but he who sleepeth in summer, is a disgrace.)
6The blessing of God is over the head of a just man; but wickedness covereth the mouth of wicked men. (The blessing of God is upon the heads of the righteous; but wickedness covereth the mouths of the wicked.)
7The mind of a just man shall be with praisings; and the name of wicked men shall wax rotten. (The righteous shall be remembered with praise or The memory of the righteous is blessed; but the names of the wicked shall grow rotten.)
8A wise man shall receive commandments with heart (or A wise person shall take commandments to heart); a fool is beaten with (his own) lips.
9He that goeth simply, goeth trustily; but he that maketh shrewd his ways, shall be made open. (He who goeth with honesty, or with integrity, goeth with security; but he who maketh his ways depraved, shall be exposed.)
10He that beckoneth with the eye, shall give sorrow; a fool shall be beaten with (his own) lips.
