6 Go to the emmet thou sluggarde, consider her wayes, and learne to be wyse: Go to the ant, O sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise. Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise!
7 She hath no guyde, nor ouerseer, nor ruler, Without having any chief, officer, or ruler, It has no commander, no overseer or ruler,
8 Yet in the sommer she prouideth her meate, and gathereth her foode together in the haruest. she prepares her bread in summer and gathers her food in harvest. yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest.
9 Howe long wylt thou sleepe thou sluggishe man? When wylt thou aryse out of thy sleepe? How long will you lie there, O sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep? How long will you lie there, you sluggard? When will you get up from your sleep?
10 Yea, sleepe on still a litle, slumber a litle, folde thyne handes together yet a litle that thou mayest sleepe: A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest, A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest—
11 So shall pouertie come vnto thee as one that trauayleth by the way, and necessitie like a weaponed man. and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and want like an armed man. and poverty will come on you like a thief and scarcity like an armed man.
