Vulgate
ἑτοιμάζεται θέρους τὴν τροφήν, πολλήν τε ἐν τῷ ἀμήτῳ ποιεῖται τὴν παράθεσιν. [1] ἢ πορεύθητι πρὸς τὴν μέλισσαν καὶ μάθε ὡς ἐργάτις ἐστιν, τήν τε ἐργασίαν ὡς σεμνὴν ποιεῖται· [2] ἧς τοὺς πόνους βασιλεῖς καὶ ἰδιῶται πρὸς ὑγείαν προσφέρονται, ποθεινὴ δέ ἐστιν πᾶσιν καὶ ἐπίδοξος· [3] καίπερ οὖσα τῇ ῥώμῃ ἀσθενής, τὴν σοφίαν τιμήσασα προήχθη.
LXX
Provideth her bread in the summer, And gathereth her food in the harvest.
