²⁶ Whoso is spoiling a father causeth a mother to flee, A son causing shame, and bringing confusion.

⁶ Go unto the ant, O slothful one, See her ways and be wise;

⁴ A virtuous woman `is' a crown to her husband, And as rottenness in his bones `is' one causing shame.

²⁵ The ants `are' a people not strong, And they prepare in summer their food,

⁶ Seek ye Jehovah, while He is found, Call ye Him, while He is near,

⁷ Forsake doth the wicked his way, And the man of iniquity his thoughts, And he returneth to Jehovah, and He pitieth him, And unto our God for He multiplieth to pardon.
