Proverbs 10:3

God's faithfulnessJustice

1 The proverbs of Solomon: A wise son brings joy to his father, but a foolish son grief to his mother.

2 Ill-gotten treasures profit nothing, but righteousness brings deliverance from death.

The LORD does not let the righteous go hungry, but He denies the craving of the wicked.

4 Idle hands make one poor, but diligent hands bring wealth.

5 He who gathers in summer is a wise son, but he who sleeps during harvest is a disgraceful son.
