Proverbs 10:1-5 American Standard Version (ASV)

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

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

3. Jehovah will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish; But he thrusteth away the desire of the wicked.

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

5. He that gathereth in summer is a wise son; But he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.
