If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.

Go to the ant, thou sluggard, consider her ways, and be wise.

In their sight shalt thou bear it upon thy shoulders, and carry it forth in the twilight: thou shalt cover thy face, that thou see not the ground: for I have set thee for a sign unto the house of Israel.

They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD.

Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest
