Pr 6:6–11

6:6–11 These verses are an object lesson based on the industry of the ant. The underlying assumption is not only that the universe is orderly, but that there are points of analogy between even the lowly insect world and humans. Solomon’s nature proverbs may have drawn other such analogies (1 Kin. 4:33).
