New American Standard Bible

3 (A)Avoiding strife is an honor for a person,
But any fool will [a]quarrel.
4 The [b](B)lazy one does not plow after the autumn,
So he [c]begs during the harvest and has nothing.
5 A plan in the heart of a person is like deep water,
But a person of understanding draws it out.
