4 Poor is he who is working -- a slothful hand, And the hand of the diligent maketh rich. A slack hand causes poverty, but the hand of the diligent makes rich. Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth.
5 Whoso is gathering in summer is a wise son, Whoso is sleeping in harvest is a son causing shame. He who gathers in summer is a prudent son, but he who sleeps in harvest is a son who brings shame. He who gathers crops in summer is a prudent son, but he who sleeps during harvest is a disgraceful son.
