Proverbs 6:6-11 ▼

6 Go to the ant, thou slothful one; see her ways, and be wise:

7 Which no leader to her, scribe and ruler;

8 She will prepare in summer her bread, gathering her food in harvest.

9 How long, O slothful one, wilt thou lie down? when wilt thou rise from thy sleep?

10 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to lie down:

11 And thy poverty came as he going, and thy want as a man of the shield.
