3. The Lord will not afflict the soul of the just with famine, and he will disappoint the deceitful practices of the wicked.
4. The slothful hand hath wrought poverty: but the hand of the industrious getteth riches. He that trusteth to lies feedeth the winds: and the same runneth after birds that fly away.
5. He that gathered in the harvest is a wise son: but he that snorteth in the summer, is the son of confusion.
6. The blessing of the Lord is upon the head of the just: but iniquity covereth the mouth of the wicked.
7. The memory of the just is with praises: and the name of the wicked shall rot.
8. The wise of heart receiveth precepts: a fool is beaten with lips.
