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.
7The memory of the just is destined to be blessed; but the name of the wicked shall rot.
8The wise in heart will accept commandments; but he that is a fool in his speaking will stumble.
9He that walketh uprightly ever walketh securely; but he that perverteth his ways will be punished.
10He that winketh with the eye causeth vexation; and he that is a fool in his speaking will stumble.
11A source of life is the mouth of the righteous; but the mouth of the wicked covereth violence.
