Proverbs 10:5

God's Word

Whoever gathers in the summer is a wise son. Whoever sleeps at harvest time brings shame.

See the chapter Copy

Lazy hands bring poverty, but hard-working hands bring riches.

Blessings cover the head of a righteous person, but violence covers the mouths of wicked people.

A wife with strength of character is the crown of her husband, but the wife who disgraces him is like bone cancer.

A wise slave will become master over a son who acts shamefully, and he will share the inheritance with the brothers.

A son who assaults his father ⌞and⌟ who drives away his mother brings shame and disgrace.

⌞When⌟ grass is cut short, the tender growth appears, and vegetables are gathered on the hills.

Ants are not a strong species, yet they store their food in summer.

Consider the ant, you lazy bum. Watch its ways, and become wise.

in summertime it stores its food supply. At harvest time it gathers its food.
