Proverbs 6:8

Young's Literal Translation 1898

She doth prepare in summer her bread, She hath gathered in harvest her food.

See the chapter Copy

Whoso is gathering in summer is a wise son, Whoso is sleeping in harvest is a son causing shame.

And a sufficiency of goats' milk is for thy bread, For bread to thy house, and life to thy damsels!

The ants are a people not strong, And they prepare in summer their food,

Till when, O slothful one, dost thou lie? When dost thou arise from thy sleep?

treasuring up to themselves a right foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on the life age-during.
