Proverbs 10:5 Context
3The Lord will not suffer the soule of the righteous to famish: but he casteth away the substance of the wicked. 4Hee becommeth poore that dealeth with a slacke hand: but the hand of the diligent, maketh rich. 5Hee that gathereth in Summer, is a wise sonne: but hee that sleepeth in haruest, is a sonne that causeth shame. 6Blessings are vpon the head of the iust: but violence couereth the mouth of the wicked. 7The memorie of the iust is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot.
