4 The lazy person does not plow in season; harvest comes, and there is nothing to be found.(A)
4 The lazy don’t plow during winter; at harvest they look but find nothing.
13 Do not love sleep, or else you will come to poverty; open your eyes, and you will have plenty of bread.(A)
13 Don’t love sleep or you will be poor; stay alert and you will have plenty to eat.
