6 jGo to kthe ant, O lsluggard;
consider her ways, and mbe wise.

8 she prepares her bread pin summer
and qgathers her food in harvest.
9 rHow long will you lie there, lO sluggard?
When will you arise from your sleep?

ta little sfolding of the hands to rest,
11 uand poverty will come upon you like a robber,
and want like an armed man.

but whoever gathers little by little will increase it.
