4 Don’t go to sleepor even rest your eyes,
5 but free yourself like a deer running from a hunter,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,no leader or ruler,
8 but they store up food in the summerand 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 lie down to rest.
