Proverbs

⁴Don’t wait to rest or sleep. ⁵Escape from that trap like a deer running from a hunter. Free yourself like a bird flying from a trap. ⁶You lazy people, you should watch what the ants do and learn from them. ⁷Ants have no ruler, no boss, and no leader. ⁸But in the summer, ants gather all of their food and save it. So when winter comes, there is plenty to eat. ⁹You lazy people, how long are you going to lie there? When will you get up? ¹⁰You say, “I need a rest. I think I’ll take a short nap.”
