In the biblical context, this serves as a metaphor for self-discipline and personal responsibility. The ant's behavior contrasts with the sluggard, who requires constant prodding and oversight. This concept is echoed in the New Testament, where believers are encouraged to work out their salvation with fear and trembling (<a href="/philippians/2-12.htm">Philippians 2:12</a>), emphasizing personal initiative in spiritual growth.<p><b>Without an overseer</b><br>The absence of an overseer suggests a level of maturity and wisdom in the ant's actions. In ancient Israel, overseers were often appointed to manage laborers and ensure productivity, as seen in the construction of the Temple under Solomon (<a href="/1_kings/5-16.htm">1 Kings 5:16</a>). The ant's ability to function without such oversight implies a natural inclination towards industriousness and foresight. This can be seen as a call for believers to develop an internal moral compass guided by the Holy Spirit, rather than relying solely on external enforcement of rules.<p><b>Or ruler</b><br>The lack of a ruler further emphasizes the ant's self-governance. In the historical context of the Bible, rulers were necessary for maintaining order and justice, as seen in the role of judges and kings in Israel. However, the ant's example suggests that true wisdom and diligence come from within, not from imposed authority. This aligns with the biblical principle that God desires His people to be self-governing under His law, as seen in the promise of the New Covenant where God's laws are written on the hearts of believers (<a href="/jeremiah/31-33.htm">Jeremiah 31:33</a>). The ant's behavior can be seen as a type of Christ, who perfectly fulfilled the law and acted in complete obedience to the Father without the need for human authority.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/a/ants.htm">Ants</a></b><br>The verse is part of a passage that uses ants as an example of diligence and wisdom.

The three terms used here, <span class="accented">katsa, shoter, moshel</span>, all refer to government, and correspond respectively with the modern, Arabic terms, <span class="accented">kadi, wall</span>, and <span class="accented">emir</span> (Zockler). The first refers to the judicial office, and should rather be rendered "judge," the root <span class="accented">katsah</span> being "to decide" (see <a href="/isaiah/1-10.htm">Isaiah 1:10</a>; <a href="/isaiah/3-6.htm">Isaiah 3:6, 7</a>; <a href="/micah/3-9.htm">Micah 3:9</a>). The word, however, is used of a military commander in <a href="/joshua/10-24.htm">Joshua 10:24</a>; <a href="/judges/2-6.htm">Judges 2:6-11</a>, and in this sense it is understood by the Vulgate, which has <span class="accented">dux. Shoter</span>, rendered "overseer," is literally "a scribe," and appears as the general designation for any official In <a href="/exodus/5-6.htm">Exodus 5:6, 19</a> the <span class="accented">shoter</span> is the person employed by the Egyptian taskmasters to urge on the Israelites in their forced labour; in <a href="/numbers/11-16.htm">Numbers 11:16</a> the <span class="accented">shoter</span> is one of the seventy elders; and in <a href="/1_chronicles/23-4.htm">1 Chronicles 23:4</a> he is a municipal magistrate. The meaning assigned to the word in the Authorized Version seems to be the correct one. The ant has no overseer; there is none to regulate or see that the work is done. Each ant apparently works independently of the rest, though guided by a common instinct to add to the common store. In <span class="accented">moshel</span> we have the highest title of dignity and power, the word signifying a lord, prince, or ruler, from <span class="accented">mashal</span>, "to rule." <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/proverbs/6-7.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">Without</span><br /><span class="heb">אֵֽין־</span> <span class="translit">(’ên-)</span><br /><span class="parse">Adverb<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_369.htm">Strong's 369: </a> </span><span class="str2">A non-entity, a negative particle</span><br /><br /><span class="word">a commander,</span><br /><span class="heb">קָצִ֗ין</span> <span class="translit">(qā·ṣîn)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7101.htm">Strong's 7101: </a> </span><span class="str2">A magistrate, other leader</span><br /><br /><span class="word">without an overseer</span><br /><span class="heb">שֹׁטֵ֥ר</span> <span class="translit">(šō·ṭêr)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7860.htm">Strong's 7860: </a> </span><span class="str2">A scribe, an official superintendent, magistrate</span><br /><br /><span class="word">or ruler,</span><br /><span class="heb">וּמֹשֵֽׁל׃</span> <span class="translit">(ū·mō·šêl)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4910.htm">Strong's 4910: </a> </span><span class="str2">To rule, have dominion, reign</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/proverbs/6-7.htm">Proverbs 6:7 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/proverbs/6-7.htm">Proverbs 6:7 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/proverbs/6-7.htm">Proverbs 6:7 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/proverbs/6-7.htm">Proverbs 6:7 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/proverbs/6-7.htm">Proverbs 6:7 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/proverbs/6-7.htm">Proverbs 6:7 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/proverbs/6-7.htm">Proverbs 6:7 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/proverbs/6-7.htm">Proverbs 6:7 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/proverbs/6-7.htm">Proverbs 6:7 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/proverbs/6-7.htm">Proverbs 6:7 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/proverbs/6-7.htm">OT Poetry: Proverbs 6:7 Which having no chief overseer or ruler (Prov.
