The plansof the diligent[lead] surelyto advantage,But everyonewho is hasty[comes] surelyto poverty.
Pooris he who workswith a negligenthand,But the handof the diligentmakesrich.
The soulof the sluggardcravesand [gets] nothing,But the soulof the diligentis madefat.
He whois slowto angerhas greatunderstanding,But he whois quick-temperedexaltsfolly.
Alsoit is not goodfor a personto be withoutknowledge,And he who hurrieshis footstepserrs.
An inheritancegainedhurriedlyat the beginningWill not be blessedin the end.
A manwith an evileyehastensafter wealthAnd does not knowthat wantwill comeupon him.
Do you seea manwho is hastyin his words?There is morehopefor a foolthanfor him.
He who stealsmust stealno longer;but ratherhe must labor,performingwith his ownhandswhat is good,sothat he will have[something] to sharewith onewho hasneed.
