Jeremiah 8:7-10
Even storks in the sky know their seasons. Turtledoves, swallows, and cranes are aware of their migration, but my people do not know the requirements of the LORD.“ How can you claim,‘ We are wise; the law of the LORD is with us’? In fact, the lying pen of scribes has produced falsehood.The wise will be put to shame; they will be dismayed and snared. They have rejected the word of the LORD, so what wisdom do they really have?Therefore, I will give their wives to other men, their fields to new occupants, for from the least to the greatest, everyone is making profit dishonestly. From prophet to priest, everyone deals falsely.

Know well the condition of your flock, and pay attention to your herds,for wealth is not forever; not even a crown lasts for all time.When hay is removed and new growth appears and the grain from the hills is gathered in,lambs will provide your clothing, and goats, the price of a field;there will be enough goat’s milk for your food— food for your household and nourishment for your female servants.

Proverbs 6:6-11
Go to the ant, you slacker! Observe its ways and become wise.Without leader, administrator, or ruler,it prepares its provisions in summer; it gathers its food during harvest.How long will you stay in bed, you slacker? When will you get up from your sleep?A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the arms to rest,and your poverty will come like a robber, your need, like a bandit.

Proverbs 11:5-6
The righteousness of the blameless clears his path, but the wicked person will fall because of his wickedness.The righteousness of the upright rescues them, but the treacherous are trapped by their own desires.
