He who has a slack hand becomes poor, But the hand of the diligent makes rich.

The soul of a lazy [man] desires, and [has] nothing; But the soul of the diligent shall be made rich.

Be diligent to know the state of your flocks, [And] attend to your herds;

[When] the hay is removed, and the tender grass shows itself, And the herbs of the mountains are gathered in,

[You shall have] enough goats' milk for your food, For the food of your household, And the nourishment of your maidservants.

Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather let him labor, working with [his] hands what is good, that he may have something to give him who has need.

that you also aspire to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you,

that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and [that] you may lack nothing.

[He who is] slow to wrath has great understanding, But [he who is] impulsive exalts folly.

An inheritance gained hastily at the beginning Will not be blessed at the end.

A man with an evil eye hastens after riches, And does not consider that poverty will come upon him.
