Go to the ant, you sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise;

provides her bread in the summer, and gathers her food in the harvest.

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

Seek Jehovah while He may be found; call upon Him while He is near.

Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to Jehovah, and He will have mercy on him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.

A woman of strength is a crown to her husband, but she who causes shame is like rottenness in his bones.

A wise servant shall have rule over a son who causes shame, and shall share in the inheritance among the brothers.

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