6
Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise!
7
It has no commander, no overseer or ruler,
8
yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest.
9
How long will you lie there, you sluggard? When will you get up from your sleep?
10
A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest—
11
and poverty will come on you like a thief and scarcity like an armed man.
