9	How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?	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	Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:	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—
