SCRIPTURE
"He that gathereth in summer is a wise son; [But] he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame." — Proverbs 10:5 (ASV)
The son is called upon to enter upon the labors of others, and reap where they have sown. To sleep when the abundant harvest lies ready for the sickle is the most extreme laziness.
