Proverbs 10:3-5

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³ The Lord will not afflict the soul of the just with famine, and he will disappoint the deceitful practices of the wicked.

⁴ The slothful hand hath wrought poverty: but the hand of the industrious getteth riches. He that trusteth to lies feedeth the winds: and the same runneth after birds that fly away.

⁵ He that gathered in the harvest is a wise son: but he that snorteth in the summer, is the son of confusion.
