Proverbs 6:6-11 ▼

6 Go to the ant, you sluggard; observe its ways and be wise!

7 It has no commander, overseer, or ruler,

8 yet it prepares its food in the summer; it gathers at the harvest what it will eat.

9 How long, you sluggard, will you lie there? When will you rise from your sleep?

10 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to relax,

11 and your poverty will come like a robber, and your need like an armed man.
