4 Don’t go to sleep.Don’t even rest your eyes.
5 But free yourself like a deer running from a hunter.Free yourself like a bird flying away from a trapper.
6 Go watch the ants, you lazy person.Watch what they do and be wise.
7 Ants have no commander.They have no leader or ruler.
8 But they store up food in the summer.They gather their supplies at harvest.
9 How long will you lie there, you lazy person?When will you get up from sleeping?
10 You sleep a little; you take a nap.You fold your hands and rest.
