Proverbs 6:6-11 ▼

6 Go to the ant, O slothful one, || See her ways and be wise;

7 Which has no captain, overseer, and ruler,

8 She prepares her bread in summer, || She has gathered her food in harvest.

9 Until when, O slothful one, do you lie? When do you arise from your sleep?

10 A little sleep, a little slumber, || A little clasping of the hands to rest,

11 And your poverty has come as a traveler, || And your want as an armed man.
