Proverbs 6:6-11
Legacy Standard Bible
6 Go to the (A)ant, O (B)sluggard,
Observe her ways and be wise,
7 Which, having (C)no chief,
Officer or ruler,
8 Prepares her food (D)in the summer
And gathers her provision in the harvest.
9 How long will you lie down, O sluggard?
When will you arise from your sleep?
10 “(E)A little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to [a]rest”—
11 (F)Your poverty will come in like [b]a vagabond
And your want like [c]an armed man.

Lexham English Bible
Against Sloth
6 Go to the ant, lazy!
Consider its ways and be wise.
7 It has no chief,
officer, or ruler.
8 In the summer, it prepares its food;
in the harvest, it gathers its sustenance.
9 How long will you lie down, lazy?
When will you rise up from your sleep?
10 A little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands for rest—
11 like a robber[a] shall your poverty come,
and what you lack like an armed man.
