For they will be a crown of grace for your head, and chain-ornaments about your neck.

So your store-houses will be full of grain, and your vessels overflowing with new wine.

She will put a crown of grace on your head, giving you a head-dress of glory.

She gets her meat in the summer, storing up food at the time of the grain-cutting.

He who in summer gets together his store is a son who does wisely; but he who takes his rest when the grain is being cut is a son causing shame.

He who keeps back grain will be cursed by the people; but a blessing will be on the head of him who lets them have it for a price.

He who puts his faith in wealth will come to nothing; but the upright man will be full of growth like the green leaf.

A woman of virtue is a crown to her husband; but she whose behaviour is a cause of shame is like a wasting disease in his bones.

Their wisdom is a crown to the wise, but their foolish behaviour is round the head of the unwise.

The grey head is a crown of glory, if it is seen in the way of righteousness.

Children's children are the crown of old men, and the glory of children is their fathers.

The hater of work will not do his ploughing because of the winter; so at the time of grain-cutting he will be requesting food and will get nothing.

By planting the seed of evil a man will get in the grain of sorrow, and the rod of his wrath will be broken.

As the cold of snow in the time of grain-cutting, so is a true servant to those who send him; for he gives new life to the soul of his master.

Like snow in summer and rain when the grain is being cut, so honour is not natural for the foolish.

Even if a foolish man is crushed with a hammer in a vessel among crushed grain, still his foolish ways will not go from him.
