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

See the chapter Copy

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 son who acts shamefully, and will share the inheritance as one of the brothers.

He who does violence to his father and chases away his mother is a son who causes shame and brings reproach.

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

the ants are a people not strong, yet they provide their food in the summer;

Go to the ant, O sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise.

she prepares her food in summer, and gathers her sustenance in harvest.
