Go to the ant, O sluggard;
consider her ways, and be wise.
Without having any chief,
officer, or ruler,
she prepares her bread in summer
and gathers her food in harvest.
And then:
The hand of the diligent will rule,
while the slothful will be put to forced labor.
So free people work themselves. Otherwise, someone else will work them.
