2 Treasures of wickedness profit nothing, but righteousness delivers from death.

3 The LORD will not allow the soul of the righteous to famish, but He casts away the substance of the wicked.

4 He who deals with a slack hand becomes poor, but the hand of the diligent makes rich.

5 He who gathers in summer is a wise son, but he who sleeps in harvest is a son who causes shame.

6 Blessings are on the head of the just, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.

7 The memory of the just is blessed, but the name of the wicked will rot.

8 The wise in heart will receive commands, but a prating fool will fall.

9 He who walks uprightly walks securely, but he who perverts his ways will be exposed.

10 He who winks with the eye causes trouble, but a prating fool will fall.

11 The mouth of the righteous man is a well of life, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.

12 Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all sins.

13 On the lips of him who has understanding wisdom is found, but a rod is for the back of him who lacks understanding.
