Proverbs
Chapters 6:7-13
Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version
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.”
11But 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.
12Some people are just troublemakers. They are always thinking up some crooked plan and telling lies.
13They use secret signals to cheat people; they wink their eyes, shuffle their feet, and point a finger.
