1. Proverbs of Solomon. A wise son causeth a father to rejoice, And a foolish son [is] an affliction to his mother.
2. Treasures of wickedness profit not, And righteousness delivereth from death.
3. Jehovah causeth not the soul of the righteous to hunger, And the desire of the wicked He thrusteth away.
4. Poor [is] he who is working--a slothful hand, And the hand of the diligent maketh rich.
