27 The lazy do not roast any game,

but the diligent feed on the riches of the hunt.

28 In the way of righteousness there is life;

along that path is immortality.

27 The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting:

But the substance of a diligent man is precious.

28 In the way of righteousness is life;

And in the pathway thereof there is no death.

27 Lazy people don’t even cook the game they catch,

but the diligent make use of everything they find.

28 The way of the godly leads to life;

that path does not lead to death.

27 The lazy man does not roast what he took in hunting,

But diligence is man’s precious possession.

28 In the way of righteousness is life,

And in its pathway there is no death.

27 The lazy catch no food to cook,

but a hard worker will have great wealth.

28 Doing what is right is the way to life,

but there is another way that leads to death.

27 The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting;

But the precious substance of men is to the diligent.

28 In the way of righteousness is life;

And in the pathway thereof there is no death.

27 The slothful roasteth not what he took in hunting; but man’s precious substance is to the diligent.

28 In the path of righteousness is life, and in the pathway thereof there is no death.

27 A lazy hunter does not catchhis prey, 

but a hard-working person becomes wealthy. 

28 Everlasting life is on the way of righteousness. 

Eternal death is not along its path. 

27 A lazy man doesn’t roast his game,

but to a diligent man, his wealth is precious.

28 There is life in the path of righteousness,

but another path leads to death.

27 The lazy do not roast their game,

but the diligent obtain precious wealth.

28 In the path of righteousness there is life,

in walking its path there is no death.

27 The lazy will not roast his game,

but diligence is the precious wealth of a man.

28 On the road of righteousness is life,

and on the way of the path, may there be no death.

27 Anyone who refuses to work doesn’t even cook what he catches.

But a man who works hard values what he has.

28 There is life in doing what is right.

Along that path you will never die.

27 A lazy man does not roast his prey,

But the precious possession of a man is diligence.

28 In the way of righteousness is life,

And in its pathway there is no death.
