Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

Here Agur refers to the whole species of ants as if they were a group of people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “are a species”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠יָּכִ֖ינוּ בַ⁠קַּ֣יִץ לַחְמָֽ⁠ם

See how you translated the similar phrase “prepares its bread in the summer” in 6:8.
