⁴ A slack hand causes poverty,

but the hand of the diligent makes rich.

but he who sleeps in harvest is a son who brings shame.

⁶ Blessings are on the head of the righteous,

but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.

⁷ The memory of the righteous is a blessing,

but the name of the wicked will rot.

⁸ The wise of heart will receive commandments,

but a babbling fool will come to ruin.

⁹ Whoever walks in integrity walks securely,

but he who makes his ways crooked will be found out.

¹⁰ Whoever winks the eye causes trouble,

and a babbling fool will come to ruin.

¹¹ The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life,

but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.

¹² Hatred stirs up strife,

but love covers all offenses.
