Allow no sleep to your eyes,
    no slumber to your eyelids.(A)
Free yourself, like a gazelle(B) from the hand of the hunter,(C)
    like a bird from the snare of the fowler.(D)

Go to the ant, you sluggard;(E)
    consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
    no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer(F)
    and gathers its food at harvest.(G)

How long will you lie there, you sluggard?(H)
    When will you get up from your sleep?
10 A little sleep, a little slumber,
    a little folding of the hands to rest(I)
11 and poverty(J) will come on you like a thief
    and scarcity like an armed man.
