Proverbs 10:2–4

Treasures gained by wickedness do not profit,

but righteousness delivers from death.

The Lord does not let the righteous go hungry,

but he thwarts the craving of the wicked.

A slack hand causes poverty,

but the hand of the diligent makes rich.

Ill-gotten treasures have no lasting value,

but righteousness delivers from death.

The Lord does not let the righteous go hungry,

but he thwarts the craving of the wicked.

Lazy hands make for poverty,

but diligent hands bring wealth.

Ill-gotten gains do not profit anyone,

but righteousness rescues from death.

The Lord will not let the righteous go hungry,

but he denies the wicked what they crave.

Idle hands make one poor,

but diligent hands bring riches.

Tainted wealth has no lasting value,

but right living can save your life.

The Lord will not let the godly go hungry,

but he refuses to satisfy the craving of the wicked.

Lazy people are soon poor;

hard workers get rich.

Treasures of wickedness do not profit,

but righteousness delivers from death.

Yahweh will not cause a righteous person to go hungry,

but the craving of the wicked he will thwart.

A slack hand causes poverty,

but the hand of the diligent enriches.

Treasures of wickedness profit nothing:

But righteousness delivereth from death.

The Lord will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish:

But he casteth away the substance of the wicked.

He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand:

But the hand of the diligent maketh rich.
