2. Ill-gotten gains do not profit, But righteousness delivers from death.
3. The Lord will not allow the righteous to hunger, But He will reject the craving of the wicked.
4. Poor is he who works with a negligent hand, But the hand of the diligent makes rich.
5. He who gathers in summer is a son who acts wisely, But he who sleeps in harvest is a son who acts shamefully.
