Treasures of wickedness profit not, And righteousness delivereth from death.

Whoso is gathering in summer [is] a wise son, Whoso is sleeping in harvest [is] a son causing shame.
6
Blessings [are] for the head of the righteous, And the mouth of the wicked cover doth violence.
7
The remembrance of the righteous [is] for a blessing, And the name of the wicked doth rot.

The wise in heart accepteth commands, And a talkative fool kicketh.

Whoso is walking in integrity walketh confidently, And whoso is perverting his ways is known.

Whoso is winking the eye giveth grief, And a talkative fool kicketh.
