Proverbs 10:5

WorkWisdom

3 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.

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

6 Blessings are on the head of the righteous, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.

7 The memory of the righteous is a blessing, but the name of the wicked will rot.
