ESV 6 Go to the ant, O sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise. NIV 6 Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! ESV 7 Without having any chief, officer, or ruler, NIV 7 It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, ESV 8 she prepares her bread in summer and gathers her food in harvest. NIV 8 yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. ESV 9 How long will you lie there, O sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep? NIV 9 How long will you lie there, you sluggard? When will you get up from your sleep? ESV 10 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest, NIV 10 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest— ESV 11 and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and want like an armed man. NIV 11 and poverty will come on you like a thief and scarcity like an armed man.
