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.

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

Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:

Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.

A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren.

He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach.
