Proverbs 10:2-4
Contemporary English Version

2 What you gain by doing evil
    won't help you at all.
Obeying God is the only way
    to be saved from death.

3 If you obey the Lord,
    you won't go hungry;
if you are wicked,
God won't let you have
    what you want.
4 Laziness leads to poverty;
    hard work makes you rich.
