No Commander For The Ant – Proverbs 6:7-8

7) It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
8) yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.

Proverbs Club Commentary

Without a leader, ants store food
in one season to consume it in another.

One of my favorite proverbs is not from Proverbs:
Dig a well before you are thirsty.

15) Drink water from your own cistern,
running water from your own well.

Proverbs Club Commentary

Your spouse is your greatest earthly treasure.
You both have sworn,
before God and mankind,
to be one until death.

4) Listen, my sons, to a father’s instruction;
pay attention and gain understanding.

Proverbs Club Commentary

Hearing your father’s advice
is your introduction to understanding.

18) Surely her house leads down to death
and her paths to the spirits of the dead.

Proverbs Club Commentary

Both the path and the actions of the adulteress
wreak only of death.
