Proverbs 10:4-9

⁴Lazy hands make you poor, but hard-working hands make you rich.

⁵A son who gathers crops during the summer is sensible, but the one who sleeps during harvest brings disgrace.

⁶Those who are good are blessed, but what the wicked say hides their violent nature.

⁷The good are remembered as a blessing, but the reputation of the wicked will rot.

⁸Those who think wisely pay attention to instruction, but a stupid chatterbox ends up in disaster.

⁹Honest people will live in safety, but those who behave deceitfully will be caught out.
