Proverbs 14:4
Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase is by the strength of the ox.
KJV
Ubi non sunt boves, præsepe vacuum est ; ubi autem plurimæ segetes, ibi manifesta est fortitudo bovis.
Vulgate
οὗ μή εἰσιν βόες, φάτναι καθαραί· οὗ δὲ πολλὰ γενήματα, φανερὰ βοὸς ἰσχύς.
LXX
Where no oxen are, the crib is clean; But much increase is by the strength of the ox.
