Jeremiah 8:7-10
Storks know when to fly south. So do doves, swifts and thrushes. But my people do not know what I require them to do.“‘ “How can you people say,‘ We are wise. We have the law of the Lord’? Actually, the teachers of the law have told lies about it. Their pens have not written what is true.Those who think they are wise will be put to shame. They will become terrified. They will be trapped. They have not accepted my message. So what kind of wisdom do they have?I will give their wives to other men. I will give their fields to new owners. Everyone wants to get richer and richer. Everyone is greedy, from the least important to the most important. Prophets and priests alike try to fool everyone they can.

Be sure you know how your flocks are doing. Pay careful attention to your herds.Riches don’t last forever. And a crown is not secure for all time to come.The hay is removed, and new growth appears.

And the money from selling your goats will buy you a field.You will have plenty of goats’ milk to feed your family. It will also feed your female servants.

Proverbs 6:6-11
You people who don’t want to work, think about the ant! Consider its ways and be wise!It has no commander. It has no leader or ruler.But it stores up its food in summer. It gathers its food at harvest time.You lazy people, how long will you lie there? When will you get up from your sleep?You might sleep a little or take a little nap. You might even fold your hands and rest.Then you would be poor, as if someone had robbed you. You would have little, as if someone had stolen from you.
