Proverbs 6:8

God's Word

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

See the chapter Copy

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

There will be enough goat milk to feed you, to feed your family, and to keep your servant girls alive.

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

How long will you lie there, you lazy bum? When will you get up from your sleep?

By doing this they store up a treasure for themselves which is a good foundation for the future. In this way they take hold of what life really is.
