2 Treasures gained dishonestly profit no one, but righteousness rescues from death.
3 The LORD will not allow a righteous person to starve, but he intentionally ignores the desires of a wicked person.
4 Lazy hands bring poverty, but hard-working hands bring riches.
5 Whoever gathers in the summer is a wise son. Whoever sleeps at harvest time brings shame.
6 Blessings cover the head of a righteous person, but violence covers the mouths of wicked people.
7 The name of a righteous person remains blessed, but the names of wicked people will rot away.
8 The one who is truly wise accepts commands, but the one who talks foolishly will be thrown down headfirst.
