Do not be lazy; diligent hands bring wealth -Proverbs 10:4-5, NIV. Wise to gather crops in summer vs 5.
The wise in heart accept commands, but a chattering fool comes to ruin vs 8. In another word, do not talk too much; listen attentively to learn in all areas.
The man of integrity walks securely, vs 9-no crooked paths.
Proverbs 10:1-10
[1]These are Solomon’s proverbs:Wise children make their fathers proud of them; foolish ones bring their mothers grief.
[2]Wealth that you get by dishonesty will do you no good, but honesty can save your life.
[3]The Lord will not let good people go hungry, but he will keep the wicked from getting what they want.
[4]Being lazy will make you poor, but hard work will make you rich.
[5]A sensible person gathers the crops when they are ready; it is a disgrace to sleep through the time of harvest.
[6]Good people will receive blessings. The words of the wicked hide a violent nature.
[7]Good people will be remembered as a blessing, but the wicked will soon be forgotten.
[8]Sensible people accept good advice. People who talk foolishly will come to ruin.
[9]Honest people are safe and secure, but the dishonest will be caught.
[10]Someone who holds back the truth causes trouble, but one who openly criticizes works for peace.
