^6 (A)Go to the ant, you sluggard!
Consider her ways and be wise,
⁷ Which, having no ^[a]captain,
Overseer or ruler,
⁸ Provides her ^[b]supplies in the summer,
And gathers her food in the harvest.

¹² The flowers appear on the earth;
The time of singing has come,
And the voice of the turtledove
Is heard in our land.

^3 (A)The ox knows its owner
And the donkey its master’s ^[a]crib;
But Israel ^(B)does not know,
My people do not ^[b]consider.”
