son is the heaviness of his mother. |

diligent maketh rich. |

He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth
reproof erreth. |

his lips is wise. |

|
| 10:26
As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to
them that send him. |

prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened. |
