6 You lazy people, you should watch what the ants do and learn from them.
7 Ants have no ruler, no boss, and no leader.
8 But in the summer, ants gather all of their food and save it. So when winter comes, there is plenty to eat.
9 You lazy people, how long are you going to lie there? When will you get up?
10 You say, “I need a rest. I think I’ll take a short nap.”
11 But then you sleep and sleep and become poorer and poorer. Soon you will have nothing. It will be as if a thief came and stole everything you owned.
12 Some people are just troublemakers. They are always thinking up some crooked plan and telling lies.
