Prov. 6:6‑11• 6Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:
 7Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
 8Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.
 9How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?
 10Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
 11So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man. (Prov. 6:6‑11)
;
Eccl. 9:10• 10Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest. (Eccl. 9:10)

• It was to be collected early, for when the sun waxed hot it melted. No time, indeed, is so precious to the believer for gathering the manna as the first moments of the day when in quiet he is alone with the Lord. He has not yet entered upon the experiences of the day, and he knows not what may be the precise character of his path; but he knows that he will need the sustaining manna. (“The Manna: Exodus 16” by E. Dennett)
