Proverbs 24:27

New American Bible - revised edition

Complete your outdoor tasks, and arrange your work in the field; afterward you can build your house.

See the chapter Copy

The house was built of stone dressed at the quarry, so that no hammer or ax, no iron tool, was to be heard in the house during its construction.

An honest reply— a kiss on the lips.

Take good care of your flocks, give careful attention to your herds;

There is an appointed time for everything, and a time for every affair under the heavens.

A time to give birth, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to uproot the plant.
