As an eagle stirs up its nest, hovers over its young, spreads out its wings, takes them, carries them on its pinions,
[who] teaches us more than [the] animals of [the] earth and makes us wiser than the birds of the heavens?'
Go to the ant, lazy! Consider its ways and be wise. It has no chief, officer, or ruler. In the summer, it prepares its food; in the harvest, it gathers its sustenance.
The ants [are] a people [who are] not strong, yet they prepare their food in the summer; the badgers [are] a people [who are] not mighty, yet they set their house on the rock; there is no king for the locust, yet it marches in rank; read more.

Riddle » By agur
For the leech, [there are] two daughters; "Give, give!" [they cry]. As for three of these, they are not satisfied; as for four, they do not say enough. Sheol and barrenness of womb, the land is not satisfied [with] water, and fire does not say "enough!"
Three of these are [too] wonderful for me, and four, I do not understand them: the way of the eagle in the sky, the way of a snake on a rock, the way of a ship in the heart of the sea, and the way of a man with a young woman. This is the way of a woman committing adultery: she eats and wipes her mouth, and says "I have not done wrong." read more.
Under three [things] the earth trembles, and under four, it is not able to bear up: under a slave when he becomes king, and a fool when he is satisfied [with] food; under an unloved woman when she gets married, and a maid when she succeeds her mistress. There [are] four small things on the earth, and they [are] {exceedingly wise}: The ants [are] a people [who are] not strong, yet they prepare their food in the summer; the badgers [are] a people [who are] not mighty, yet they set their house on the rock; there is no king for the locust, yet it marches in rank; a lizard you [can] seize with hands, yet it is in palaces of kings. There [are] three [things] that are magnificent of stride, and four that are magnificent [when] moving: a mighty lion among the beasts, but he will not turn back from {any face}; a strutting rooster or he-goat, and a king [whose] army [is] with him.

Summer » The time for labor and harvest
He who gathers in the summer [is] a child who is prudent; he who sleeps at the harvest [is] a child who brings shame.
