Proverbs 10:5

King James Version (Oxford) 1769

He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: But he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.

See the chapter Copy

Provideth her meat in the summer, And gathereth her food in the harvest.

The ants are a people not strong, Yet they prepare their meat in the summer;

He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, Is a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach.

A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, And shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren.

A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: But she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.

Go to the ant, thou sluggard; Consider her ways, and be wise:

He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: But the hand of the diligent maketh rich.

Blessings are upon the head of the just: But violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.

The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, And herbs of the mountains are gathered.
