Proverbs 6:4-11
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
4 Give your eyes no sleep
and your eyelids no slumber;(A)
5 save yourself like a gazelle from the hunter,[a]
like a bird from the hand of the fowler.(B)
6 Go to the ant, you lazybones;
consider its ways and be wise.(C)
7 Without having any chief
or officer or ruler,
8 it prepares its food in summer
and gathers its sustenance in harvest.(D)
9 How long will you lie there, O lazybones?
When will you rise from your sleep?(E)
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 warrior.(F)
