He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: But he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.
He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: But the hand of the diligent maketh rich.
Blessings are upon the head of the righteous: But violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.
A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: But she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.
A servant that dealeth wisely shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, And shall have part in the inheritance among the brethren.
He that spoileth his father, and chaseth away his mother, Is a son that causeth shame and bringeth reproach.
The hay is carried, and the tender grass sheweth itself, And the herbs of the mountains are gathered in.
The ants are a people not strong, Yet they provide their meat in the summer;
Go to the ant, thou sluggard; Consider her ways, and be wise:
Provideth her meat in the summer, And gathereth her food in the harvest.
