The ants may truly be called a people, as they have houses, towns, public roads, etc.; and shew their wisdom and prudence by preparing their meat in due season. "Go²°¹ to¹ the ant,ª thou sluggard;ª considerª° her ways,ª and be wise:ª° ... Providethª° her meatª in the summer,ª [and] gatherethª° her foodª in the harvest.ª" {Prv 6:6-8}
