Verse 25 is found in chapter 30 of Proverbs. Agur presents four things that disturb the established order: a servant who becomes king, a fool who is satisfied, a despised woman who finds a husband, and a maidservant who takes her mistress’s place. He then contrasts small creatures with extraordinary abilities: ants, rock badgers, locusts, and spiders. The wisdom principle is to observe how apparent smallness does not prevent effectiveness, order, or the ability to act.

die Ameisen, ein schwaches Volk; dennoch schaffen sie im Sommer ihre Speise,
Las hormigas, pueblo no fuerte, Y en el verano preparan su comida;
las hormigas, pueblo sin fuerza que prepara su alimento en verano;
Les fourmis, peuple sans force, Préparent en été leur nourriture;
Le formiche, che sono un popolo senza forze, E pure apparecchiano di state il lor cibo;
As formigas não são um povo forte; todavia no verão preparam a sua comida;
螞蟻是無力之類, 卻在夏天預備糧食。
