Amen.
Hear my prayer, O Lord; give ear to my pleas for mercy!
In your faithfulness answer me, in your righteousness!
Evening and morning and at noon I utter my complaint and moan,
and he hears my voice.
Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you;
He will never permit the righteous to be moved.

Proverbs of Solomon
10 The proverbs of Solomon:
A wise child makes a father glad,
but a foolish child grieves his mother.
2 Treasures of wickedness do not profit,
but righteousness delivers from death.
3 Yahweh will not cause a righteous person to go hungry,
but the craving of the wicked he will thwart.
4 A slack hand causes poverty,
but the hand of the diligent enriches.
5 He who gathers in the summer is a child who is prudent;
he who sleeps at the harvest is a child who brings shame.
6 Blessings belong to the head of the righteous,
but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.
7 The memory of righteousness is like a blessing,
but the name of the wicked will rot.
8 A heart of wisdom will heed commandments,
but a babbling fool will come to ruin.
9 Whoever walks in integrity will walk securely,
but whoever follows perversity, his ways will be made known.
10 The winking of an eye causes trouble,
and the foolishness of lips comes to ruin.
11 A fountain of life is a mouth of righteousness,
and a mouth of wickedness conceals violence.
12 Hatred stirs up strife,
but love covers over all offenses.
13 On the lips of one who has understanding, wisdom is found,
but a rod is for the back of one who lacks ?sense?.
14 Those who are wise lay up knowledge,
but to the mouth of the fool, ruin draws near.
