Proverbs 10:5

New International Version

He who gathers crops in summer is a prudent son, but he who sleeps during harvest is a disgraceful son.

See the chapter Copy

Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth.

Blessings crown the head of the righteous, but violence overwhelms the mouth of the wicked.

A wife of noble character is her husband’s crown, but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones.

A prudent servant will rule over a disgraceful son and will share the inheritance as one of the family.

Whoever robs their father and drives out their mother is a child who brings shame and disgrace.

When the hay is removed and new growth appears and the grass from the hills is gathered in,

Ants are creatures of little strength, yet they store up their food in the summer;

Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise!

yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest.
