6Go to the ant, O sluggard; and see, and emulate his ways, and become wiser than he.
7For whereas he has no husbandry, nor any one to compel him, and is under no master,
8he prepares food for himself in the summer, and lays by abundant store in harvest.
8aOr go to the bee, and learn how diligent she is, and how earnestly she is engaged in her work;
8bwhose labours kings and private men use for health, and she is desired and respected by all:
8cthough weak in body, she is advanced by honouring wisdom.
9How long wilt thou lie, O sluggard? and when wilt thou awake out of sleep?
10Thou sleepest a little, and thou restest a little, and thou slumberest a short time, and thou foldest thine arms over thy breast a little.
11Then poverty comes upon thee as an evil traveller, and want as a swift courier:
11abut if thou be diligent, thine harvest shall arrive as a fountain, and poverty shall flee away as a bad courier.
12A foolish man and a transgressor goes in ways that are not good.
13And the same winks with the eye, and makes a sign with his foot, and teaches with the beckonings of his fingers.
