Proverbs 6:6-11 ▼

6 Go to the ant, O sluggard, study her ways and learn wisdom;

7 For though she has no chief, no commander or ruler,

8 She procures her food in the summer, stores up her provisions in the harvest.

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

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

11 Then poverty will come upon you like a robber, and want like a brigand.
