Proverbs 14:5

"Where no oxen are, the crib is clean, but much increase is by the strength of the ox."

Key Reflection

This proverb contrasts the lack of productivity with diligence in work. Where there are no oxen to till the land, the barn remains idle and clean; however, significant agricultural output comes through the hard work and strength of the ox, symbolizing effective labor leading to abundant results.
