Proverbs 6:6-15

English Standard Version

^6 (A)Go to ^(B)the ant, O ^(C)sluggard;
    consider her ways, and ^(D)be wise.
^7 (E)Without having any chief,
    ^(F)officer, or ruler,
⁸ she prepares her bread ^(G)in summer
    and ^(H)gathers her food in harvest.
^9 (I)How long will you lie there, ^(J)O sluggard?
    When will you arise from your sleep?
^10 (K)A little sleep, a little slumber,
    ^(L)a little ^(M)folding of the hands to rest,
^11 (N)and poverty will come upon you like a robber,
    and want like an armed man.

^12 (O)A worthless person, a wicked man,
    goes about with ^(P)crooked speech,
^13 (Q)winks with his eyes, signals^[a] with his feet,
    points with his finger,
¹⁴ with ^(R)perverted heart ^(S)devises evil,
    continually ^(T)sowing discord;
¹⁵ therefore calamity will come upon him suddenly;
    ^(U)in a moment he will be broken ^(V)beyond healing.
