5He who gathers in summer is a son who acts wisely, But he who sleeps in harvest is a son who acts shamefully. 6Blessings are on the head of the righteous, But the mouth of the wicked conceals violence. The memory of the righteous is blessed, But the name of the wicked will rot. 8The wise of heart will receive commands, But a babbling fool will be ruined. 9He who walks in integrity walks securely, But he who perverts his ways will be found out.
