Proverbs 6:6–11

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.
