Proverbs 6:8
“Scripture says, "Go to the ant, you sluggard, and become wiser than he." The ant at the time of harvest lays up an ample and varied store of food against the threat of winter. "Or go to the bee and learn her diligence." For she feeds over the whole meadow to produce a single honeycomb.”
Source: Septuagint
8He prepares food for himself in the summer, And lays by abundant store in harvest. a Or go to the bee, And learn how diligent she is, And how earnestly she is engaged in her work; b Whose labors kings and private men use for health, And she is desired and respected by all: c Though weak in body, She is advanced by honoring wisdom.

6Go to the ant, O sluggard; And see, and emulate his ways, And become wiser than he.
7For whereas he has no husbandry, Nor anyone to compel him, And is under no master,
— Proverbs 6:8 —
9How long wilt thou lie, O sluggard? And when wilt thou awake out of sleep?
10Thou sleepest a little, and thou restest a little, and thou slumberest a short time, And thou foldest thine arms over thy breast a little.
