Proverbs 6:6-11 ▼

6 Go to the ant, you lazybones; consider its ways, and be wise.

7 Without having any chief or officer or ruler,

8 it prepares its food in summer, and gathers its sustenance in harvest.

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

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

11 and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and want, like an armed warrior.
