Contextual Overview

6 Go to the emmet thou sluggarde, consider her wayes, and learne to be wyse: 7 She hath no guyde, nor ouerseer, nor ruler, 8 Yet in the sommer she prouideth her meate, and gathereth her foode together in the haruest. 9 Howe long wylt thou sleepe thou sluggishe man? When wylt thou aryse out of thy sleepe? 10 Yea, sleepe on still a litle, slumber a litle, folde thyne handes together yet a litle that thou mayest sleepe: 11 So shall pouertie come vnto thee as one that trauayleth by the way, and necessitie like a weaponed man.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler. None to guide and direct her what to do; nor any to overlook her, to see that she does aright, or to oblige her to work, and keep her to it; nor any to call her to an account, and correct her for doing amiss; and nevertheless diligent and industrious, doing everything of herself, by the instinct of nature, readily and willingly: and yet how slothful are men; who, besides the dictates of nature, reason, and conscience, have parents, masters, ministers, and magistrates, to guide, direct, exhort, instruct, and enforce! so Aristotle k says of the ant, that it is

αγαρχος, without any ruler or governor.

k Hist. de Animal. l. 1. c. 1.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
