⁶ Go to the ant, you sluggard;^(A)
    consider its ways and be wise!
⁷ It has no commander,
    no overseer or ruler,
⁸ yet it stores its provisions in summer^(B)
    and gathers its food at harvest.^(C)

⁵ He who gathers crops in summer is a prudent son,
    but he who sleeps during harvest is a disgraceful son.^(A)

²⁵ Ants are creatures of little strength,
    yet they store up their food in the summer;^(A)

²⁰ “The harvest is past,
    the summer has ended,
    and we are not saved.”
