Proverbs 10:5-7

The Message

⁵ Make hay while the sun shines—that’s smart;
    go fishing during harvest—that’s stupid.

⁶ Blessings accrue on a good and honest life,
    but the mouth of the wicked is a dark cave of abuse.

⁷ A good and honest life is a blessed memorial;
    a wicked life leaves a rotten stench.
