Contextual Overview
6Go to the ant, O slothful one, || See her ways and be wise; 7Which has no captain, overseer, and ruler,8She prepares her bread in summer, || She has gathered her food in harvest. 9Until when, O slothful one, do you lie? When do you arise from your sleep? 10A little sleep, a little slumber, || A little clasping of the hands to rest, 11And your poverty has come as a traveler, || And your want as an armed 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
αγαÏÏοÏ, without any ruler or governor.
k Hist. de Animal. l. 1. c. 1.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
