A child who gathers in summer is prudent,
    but a child who sleeps in harvest brings shame.
Blessings are on the head of the righteous,
    but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.
The memory of the righteous is a blessing,
    but the name of the wicked will rot.

Footnotes

  1. Proverbs 10:6 Or but violence covers the mouth of the wicked; also verse 11

El que recoge en el verano es hijo sabio,
El que se duerme durante la siega es hijo que avergüenza.
Hay bendiciones sobre la cabeza del justo(A),
Pero la boca de los impíos oculta violencia(B).
La memoria del justo es bendita(C),
Pero el nombre del impío se pudrirá(D).
