4 Poor 'is' he who is working -- a slothful hand, And the hand of the diligent maketh rich.
5 Whoso is gathering in summer 'is' a wise son, Whoso is sleeping in harvest 'is' a son causing shame.
6 Blessings 'are' for the head of the righteous, And the mouth of the wicked cover doth violence.
7 The remembrance of the righteous 'is' for a blessing, And the name of the wicked doth rot.
8 The wise in heart accepteth commands, And a talkative fool kicketh.
