4 Don't let your eyes go to sleep. Don't let your eyelids close.
5 As a deer frees itself from a hunter, free yourself. As a bird frees itself from a trapper, free yourself.
6 You people who don't want to work, think about the ant! Consider its ways and be wise!
7 It has no commander. It has no leader or ruler.
8 But it stores up its food in summer. It gathers its food at harvest time.
9 You lazy people, how long will you lie there? When will you get up from your sleep?
10 You might sleep a little or take a little nap. You might even fold your hands and rest.
