3 L’Éternel ne laisse pas le juste souffrir de la faim, Mais il repousse l’avidité des méchants.

4 Celui qui agit d’une main lâche s’appauvrit, Mais la main des diligents enrichit.

5 Celui qui amasse pendant l’été est un fils prudent, Celui qui dort pendant la moisson est un fils qui fait honte.

6 Il y a des bénédictions sur la tête du juste, Mais la violence couvre la bouche des méchants.

7 La mémoire du juste est en bénédiction, Mais le nom des méchants tombe en pourriture.
