“Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.”
The lazy person: Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! The sluggard is the lazy, idle person. Go to the ant offers an unlikely teacher: the insect. This begins a natural history lesson embedded in the instruction. The young person is told to consider its ways and be wise. Observation of creation can teach wisdom; the ant has lessons for those willing to learn.
