Interpretation: The Psalms and Job often set these wrongdoers against the righteous. Tradition teaches that God will not let evil win in the end. In the primary lessons: In school maths: people doing work at a rate; more workers finish faster (inverse relation); wages per worker. In science: worker bees collect nectar; ant colonies. In everyday life: farm workers, health workers, factory workers. Phrases: «a hard worker», «aid worker», «office worker», «worker bee».
