10:2  Treasures of wickedness profit nothing, but righteousness delivers from death.

10:3  Jehovah will not allow the soul of a righteous man to famish, but he thrusts away the desire of the wicked.

10:4  He who works with a slack hand becomes poor, but the hand of the diligent makes rich.

10:5  He who gathers in summer is a wise son. He who sleeps in harvest is a son who causes shame.

10:6  Blessings are upon the head of a righteous man, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.

10:7  The memory of a righteous man is blessed, but the name of the wicked shall rot.

10:8  The wise in heart will receive commandments, but a prating fool shall fall.

10:9  He who walks uprightly walks securely, but he who perverts his ways shall be known.

10:11  The mouth of a righteous man is a fountain of life, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.

10:15  The rich man's wealth is his strong city. The destruction of the poor is their poverty.
