101 The proverbs of Solomon . A wise son makes a father glad , But a foolish son is a grief to his mother .
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 .
