6  ^jGo to the ^kant, O sluggard;

consider her ways, and be wise.

7  ^lWithout having any chief,

officer, or ruler,

8  she prepares her bread ^min summer

and gathers her food in harvest.

9  How long will you lie there, O sluggard?

When will you arise from your sleep?

10  ⁿA little sleep, a little slumber,

a little ^ofolding of the hands to rest,

11  and ^ppoverty will come upon you like a robber,

and want like an armed man.

4  ^kThe sluggard does not plow in the autumn;

he will seek at harvest and have nothing.

30  ^qI passed by the field of a sluggard,

by the vineyard of a man lacking sense,

31  and behold, it was all overgrown with thorns;

the ground was covered with nettles,

and its stone wall was broken down.
