Proverbs 6:6-11

New Century Version

⁶ Go watch the ants, you lazy person.
    Watch what they do and be wise.
⁷ Ants have no commander,
    no leader or ruler,
⁸ but they store up food in the summer
    and gather their supplies at harvest.
⁹ How long will you lie there, you lazy person?
    When will you get up from sleeping?
¹⁰ You sleep a little; you take a nap.
    You fold your hands and lie down to rest.
¹¹ So you will be as poor as if you had been robbed;
    you will have as little as if you had been held up.
