For wisdom shall enter into thy heart, and knowledge shall be pleasant to thy soul,

Enter not into the path of the wicked, and walk not in the way of evil men.

The hand of the diligent shall bear rule, but the slothful shall be put under task work.

A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calls for stripes.

The sluggard will not plow because of the winter. Therefore he shall beg in harvest, and have nothing.

If thou have not wherewith to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee?
