Proverbs 6:6–11

Go to the ant, O sluggard, and consider her ways, and learn wisdom: 7Which, although she hath no guide, nor master, nor captain, 8Provideth her meat for herself in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest. 9How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep? 10Thou wilt sleep a little, thou wilt slumber a little, thou wilt fold thy hands a little to sleep: 11And want shall come upon thee, as a traveller, and poverty as a man armed. But if thou be diligent, thy harvest shall come as a fountain, and want shall flee far from thee.
