Proverbs 10:5 He that gathers in summer is a wise son: but he that sleeps in harvest is a son that causes shame. Walter Scott, in a narrative of his personal history, gives the following caution to youth: "If it should ever fall to the lot of youth to peruse these pages, let such readers remember that it is with the deepest regret that I recollect, in my manhood, the opportunities of learning which I neglected in my youth; and through every part of my literary career I have felt pinched and hampered by my own ignorance, and I would this moment give half the reputation I have had the good fortune to acquire if by so doing I could rest the remaining part upon a sound foundation of learning and science." Parallel Verses KJV: He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame. |
