6:6–11 Do you need a model for your actions? Look to the ant! Adopt her way of life and grow wise. No one gives her instructions, yet she prepares her food in summer and gathers her grain at harvest time. She does what is right for herself and does not steal from others.53 Do not be lazy about the work of wisdom, hiding in your bed, asleep to the knowledge that is your birthright. The dawn comes and you groan: Just a bit more sleep, a few more minutes; let me tuck my hand under my head and close
