Proverbs 6:6-11 ▼

6 Go to the ant, O sluggish one; see her ways and become wise:

7 Which there is not unto her a chief, an official, or ruler,

8 she prepares her bread in summer, she has gathered her food in the harvest.

9 Until when, O sluggish one, will you slumber? When will you rise from your sleep?

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

11 and your poverty comes like one walking, and your need like a man of shield.
