Proverbs
King James Version (KJV)


“Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase is by the strength of the ox.”
King James Version (KJV)
14:4 The crib - The stable is empty of food for cattle, and much more for man. In the same sense cleanness of teeth is put for famine, #Amos 4:6|. The strength - By their labours, or by diligence in husbandry, which then was principally managed by oxen.
Where no Oxen are, the crib is cleane: but much increase is by the strength of the Oxe.
