Proverbs 6:6-11
Authorized (King James) Version
6 Go to the ant, thou sluggard;
consider her ways, and be wise:
7 which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
8 provideth her meat in the summer,
and gathereth her food in the harvest.
9 How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard?
when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?
10 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to sleep:
11 so shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth,
and thy want as an armed man.
Proverbs 6:6-11
American Standard Version
6 Go to the ant, thou sluggard;
Consider her ways, and be wise:
7 Which having no [a]chief,
Overseer, or ruler,
8 Provideth her bread in the summer,
And gathereth her food in the harvest.
9 How long wilt thou [b]sleep, O sluggard?
When wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?
10 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to [c]sleep:
11 So shall thy poverty come as a [d]robber,
And thy want as [e]an armed man.
