5 Die in den zomer vergadert, is een verstandig zoon; maar die in den oogst vast slaapt, is een zoon die beschaamd maakt.

Spreuken 10:5 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 10:5

He that gathereth in summer [is] a wise son
Which is the time of gathering the fruits of the earth, and laying them up against winter, as the ant is said to do, ( Proverbs 6:8 ) ;

[but] he that sleepeth in harvest [is] a son that causeth shame;
to himself, and to his parents and relations. The sum of the proverb is, that, in the time of health and youth, persons should be active and industrious in their several callings and stations, and provide against a time of sickness and old age; and that they should lose no opportunities, neither in a natural nor spiritual way, of doing or receiving good.

Spreuken 10:5 In-Context

3 De HEERE laat de ziel des rechtvaardigen niet hongeren; maar de have der goddelozen stoot Hij weg.
4 Die met een bedriegelijke hand werkt, wordt arm; maar de hand der vlijtigen maakt rijk.
5 Die in den zomer vergadert, is een verstandig zoon; maar die in den oogst vast slaapt, is een zoon die beschaamd maakt.
6 Zegeningen zijn op het hoofd des rechtvaardigen; maar het geweld bedekt den mond der goddelozen.
7 De gedachtenis des rechtvaardigen zal tot zegening zijn; maar de naam der goddelozen zal verrotten.
