GO TO THE ANT
CONSIDER HER WAYS
 

As Proverbs 6:6 puts it,
“Go to the ant, O lazy one,
study her ways and learn wisdom.”
 
Go to the moth, the spider and
the early bird who catches the worm,
watch them and learn their ways.
 
Study the hippo and the giraffe,
learn their wisdom, they evolved
this far and should go much further.
 
And watch the lazy ones, those on
street corners and drunken alleys,
see what happens to those who
stop studying and learning wisdom.
