Proverbs 24:27
Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself in the field; and afterwards build thine house.
KJV
Præpara foris opus tuum, et diligenter exerce agrum tuum, ut postea ædifices domum tuam.
Vulgate
τίς ἀνέβη εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ κατέβη; τίς συνήγαγεν ἀνέμους ἐν κόλπῳ; τίς συνέστρεψεν ὕδωρ ἐν ἱματίῳ; τίς ἐκράτησεν τῶν ἄκρων τῆς γῆς, τί ὄνομα αὐτῷ; ἢ τί ὄνομα τοῖς τέκνοις αὐτοῦ;
LXX
Prepare thy work without, And make it ready for thee in the field; And afterwards build thy house.
