Proverbs 10:1-6 (The Message)
View In My Bible
1
Wise son, glad father; stupid son, sad mother.
2
Ill-gotten gain gets you nowhere; an honest life is immortal.
3
God won't starve an honest soul, but he frustrates the appetites of the wicked.
4
Sloth makes you poor; diligence brings wealth.
5
Make hay while the sun shines - that's smart; go fishing during harvest - that's stupid.
6
Blessings accrue on a good and honest life, but the mouth of the wicked is a dark cave of abuse.
