Here are some selected verses from Proverbs 30.
5. Every word of God [is] pure: he [is] a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
8. Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:
9. Lest I be full, and deny [thee], and say, Who [is] the Lord? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God [in vain].
25. The ants [are] a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer;
The ants are one of the most diligent creatures in the animal kingdom. They work constantly gathering food and store them up for winter. Hence they will never go hungry. We ought to be like the ants, working hard and not to expect handouts from other people or even the government unless we are handicapped and disabled.
