Proverbs 6:4-11

New International Version

⁴Allow no sleep to your eyes,
no slumber to your eyelids.^(A)
⁵Free yourself, like a gazelle^(B) from the hand of the hunter,^(C)
like a bird from the snare of the fowler.^(D)

⁶Go to the ant, you sluggard;^(E)
    consider its ways and be wise!
⁷It has no commander,
    no overseer or ruler,
⁸yet it stores its provisions in summer^(F)
    and gathers its food at harvest.^(G)

⁹How long will you lie there, you sluggard?^(H)
    When will you get up from your sleep?
¹⁰A little sleep, a little slumber,
    a little folding of the hands to rest^(I)—
¹¹and poverty^(J) will come on you like a thief
    and scarcity like an armed man.
