Proverbs 30:25
The ants are a people not strong, Yet they prepare their meat in the summer;
In context
22 For a servant when he reigneth; And a fool when he is filled with meat; 23 For an odious woman when she is married; And an handmaid that is heir to her mistress.
24 There be four things which are little upon the earth, But they are exceeding wise: 25 The ants are a people not strong, Yet they prepare their meat in the summer; 26 The conies are but a feeble folk, Yet make they their houses in the rocks; 27 The locusts have no king, Yet go they forth all of them by bands; 28 The spider taketh hold with her hands, And is in kings' palaces.
