|
The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat. |
|

There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches. |
|
Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase. |
|
Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded. |
|
Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured. |
|
The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil. |
|
A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just. |
|
Much food is in the tillage of the poor: but there is that is destroyed for want of judgment. |
