Proverbs 6:6-11

⁶Go and observe the ants, you slacker! Learn from what they do and become wise.

⁷They don't have a leader, an officer, or a ruler,

⁸yet they work hard during the summer getting their food, gathering what they need during the harvest.

⁹So how long are you going to lie there, you slacker? When are you going to get up from your sleep?

¹⁰You may say, “Please, just a little more sleep, a little longer snooze, a little more folding of the arms to rest”—

¹¹and poverty will attack you like a robber, destitution like an armed warrior.
