(A)Give your eyes no sleep
    and your eyelids no slumber;
save yourself like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter,[a]
    (B)like a bird from the hand of the fowler.

(C)Go to (D)the ant, O (E)sluggard;
    consider her ways, and (F)be wise.
(G)Without having any chief,
    (H)officer, or ruler,
she prepares her bread (I)in summer
    and (J)gathers her food in harvest.
(K)How long will you lie there, (L)O sluggard?
    When will you arise from your sleep?
