Proverbs 6:6-11
New American Standard Bible 1995
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 a [b]vagabond
And your need like [c]an armed man.
