6 Go to the ant, you sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise,

7 Which, having no captain, Overseer or ruler,

8 Provides her supplies in the summer, And gathers her food in the harvest.

9 How long will you slumber, O sluggard? When will you rise from your sleep?

4 The soul of a lazy man desires, and has nothing; But the soul of the diligent shall be made rich.

15 Laziness casts one into a deep sleep, And an idle person will suffer hunger.

4 The lazy man will not plow because of winter; He will beg during harvest and have nothing.

25 The desire of the lazy man kills him, For his hands refuse to labor.

30 I went by the field of the lazy man, And by the vineyard of the man devoid of understanding;

31 And there it was, all overgrown with thorns; Its surface was covered with nettles; Its stone wall was broken down.

32 When I saw it, I considered it well; I looked on it and received instruction:

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

34 So shall your poverty come like a prowler, And your need like an armed man.
