Proverbs 6:8-11

⁸he prepares food for himself in the summer, and lays by abundant store in harvest. Or go to the bee, and learn how diligent she is, and how earnestly she is engaged in her work; whose labours kings and private men use for health, and she is desired and respected by all: though weak in body, she is advanced by honouring wisdom.

⁹How long will you lie, O sluggard? and when will you awake out of sleep?

¹⁰You sleep a little, and you rest a little, and you slumber a short time, and you fold your arms over your breast a little.

¹¹Then poverty comes upon you as an evil traveller, and lack as a swift courier: but if you be diligent, your harvest shall arrive as a fountain, and poverty shall flee away as a bad courier.
