Listen to me and I will inform you. I will describe what I have seen,
In my experience, those who plough injustice and those who sow trouble reap the same.
We have investigated this, and it is true! Hear it and understand it for yourself.
Wisdom is found on the lips of the discerning, but a rod is for the back of the one who lacks sense.
The one who works his land will have plenty of food, but whoever chases fantasies lacks sense.
The slacker craves, yet has nothing, but the diligent is fully satisfied.
The one who commits adultery lacks sense; whoever does so destroys himself.
Because of laziness the roof caves in, and because of negligent hands the house leaks.
In my futile life I have seen everything: someone righteous perishes in spite of his righteousness, and someone wicked lives long in spite of his evil.
