Proverbs 6:6-11 ▼

6 Go to the ant, you lazy one, Observe its ways and be wise,

7 Which, having no chief, Officer, or ruler,

8 Prepares its food in the summer And gathers its provision in the harvest.

9 How long will you lie down, you lazy one? When will you arise from your sleep?

10 “A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to rest,”

11 Then your poverty will come in like a drifter, And your need like an armed man.
