Proverbs 6:6-19
New King James Version
The Folly of Indolence
6 (A)Go to the ant, you sluggard!
Consider her ways and be wise,
7 Which, having no [a]captain,
Overseer or ruler,
8 Provides her [b]supplies in the summer,
And gathers her food in the harvest.
9 (B)How long will you [c]slumber, O sluggard?
When will you rise from your sleep?
10 A little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to sleep—
11 (C)So shall your poverty come on you like a prowler,
And your need like an armed man.
The Wicked Man
12 A worthless person, a wicked man,
Walks with a perverse mouth;
13 (D)He winks with his eyes,
He [d]shuffles his feet,
He points with his fingers;
14 Perversity is in his heart,
(E)He devises evil continually,
(F)He sows discord.
15 Therefore his calamity shall come (G)suddenly;
Suddenly he shall (H)be broken (I)without remedy.
16 These six things the Lord hates,
Yes, seven are an abomination to [e]Him:
17 (J)A[f] proud look,
(K)A lying tongue,
(L)Hands that shed innocent blood,
18 (M)A heart that devises wicked plans,
(N)Feet that are swift in running to evil,
19 (O)A false witness who speaks lies,
And one who (P)sows discord among brethren.
