1 The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father; But a foolish son is the grief of his mother.

2 Treasures of wickedness profit nothing; But righteousness delivereth from death.

3 The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish; But He thrusteth away the desire of the wicked.

4 He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand; But the hand of the diligent maketh rich.

5 A wise son gathereth in summer; But a son that doeth shamefully sleepeth in harvest.
