6:6-11

6
Go to the ant, O sluggard,
Observe
her ways and be wise,
7
Which, having no chief,
Officer
or ruler,
8
Prepares her food in the summer,
And
gathers her provision in the harvest.
9
How long will you lie down, O sluggard?
When
will you arise from your sleep?
10
"A little sleep, a little slumber,
A
little folding of the hands to rest"--
11
And your poverty will come in like a vagabond,
And
your need like an armed man.

24:30-34
|
30 I passed by the field of the sluggard,
And
by the vineyard of the man lacking sense;
31
And behold, it was completely overgrown with thistles,
Its
surface was covered with nettles,
And
its stone wall was broken down.
32
When I saw, I reflected upon it;
I
looked, and received instruction.
33
"A little sleep, a little slumber,
A
little folding of the hands to rest,"
34
Then your poverty will come as a robber,
And
your want like an armed man.

13
The sluggard says, "There is a lion in the road!
A
lion is in the open square!"
14
As the door turns on its hinges,
So
does the sluggard on his bed.
15
The sluggard buries his hand in the dish;
He
is weary of bringing it to his mouth again.
16
The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes
Than
seven men who can give a discreet answer.
