Proverbs 6:8

The Scriptures 1998

Provides her supplies in the summer, Gathers her food in the harvest.

See the chapter Copy

He who gathers in summer is a wise son, He who sleeps in harvest is a son who causes shame.

And goats’ milk enough for your food, For the food of your household, And sustenance for your girls.

The ants are a people not strong, Yet they prepare their food in the summer;

How long would you lie down, O lazy one? When do you arise from your sleep?

storing up for themselves a good foundation for the time to come, so that they lay hold on everlasting life.
