5 He who gathers in summer is a wise son, but he who sleeps during harvest is a disgraceful son.
Focused Passage
Proverbs 10:5
The Righteous and the Wicked: Wisdom in Speech, Work, Wealth, and Life
The chapter moves as a concentrated collection rather than a single linear argument. Its repeated contrasts form a moral portrait of the righteous and the wicked, with major clusters around family, work, wealth, speech, discipline, desire, fear, and destiny.
