(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,

    and (J)gathers her food in harvest.

    (N)a little (O)folding of the hands to rest,

    and want like an armed man.
