Proverbs 10:5

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 2021

A child who gathers in summer is prudent, but a child who sleeps in harvest brings shame.

See the chapter Copy

A slack hand causes poverty, but the hand of the diligent makes rich.

Blessings are on the head of the righteous, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.

A good wife is the crown of her husband, but she who brings shame is like rottenness in his bones.

A slave who deals wisely will rule over a child who acts shamefully and will share the inheritance as one of the family.

Those who do violence to their father and chase away their mother are children who cause shame and bring reproach.

When the grass is gone, and new growth appears, and the herbage of the mountains is gathered,

the ants are a people without strength, yet they provide their food in the summer;

Go to the ant, you lazybones; consider its ways and be wise.

it prepares its food in summer and gathers its sustenance in harvest.
