Proverbs 10:4-6

New International Reader's Version

⁴Hands that don’t want to work make you poor.
But hands that work hard bring wealth to you.

⁵A child who gathers crops in summer is wise.
But a child who sleeps at harvest time brings shame.

⁶Blessings are like crowns on the heads of those who do right.
But the trouble caused by what sinners say destroys them.
