Proverbs 6:6-11

New American Standard Bible

⁶ Go to the ^(A)ant, you ^[a](B)lazy one,
Observe its ways and be wise,
⁷ Which, having ^(C)no chief,
Officer, or ruler,
⁸ Prepares its food ^(D)in the summer
And gathers its provision in the harvest.
⁹ How long will you lie down, you ^[b]lazy one?
When will you arise from your sleep?
¹⁰ “^(E)A little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to ^[c]rest,”
^11 (F)Then your poverty will come in like a ^[d]drifter,
And your need like ^[e]an armed man.
