6 *Go to *the ant, O *sluggard;

consider her ways, and *be wise.

7 *Without having any chief,

*officer, or ruler,

8 she prepares her bread *in summer

and *gathers her food in harvest.

9 *How long will you lie there, *O sluggard?

When will you arise from your sleep?

10 *A little sleep, a little slumber,

*a little *folding of the hands to rest,

11 *and poverty will come upon you like a robber,

and want like an armed man.
