Proverbs 6:9-13

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 traveler, And want as a swift courier:

^11aBut if thou be diligent, thy 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.
