Proverbs
Chapters 6:5-11
New International Version Anglicized
5Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter,like a bird from the snare of the fowler.
6Go to the ant, you sluggard;consider its ways and be wise!
7It has no commander,no overseer or ruler,
8yet it stores its provisions in summerand gathers its food at harvest.
9How long will you lie there, you sluggard?When will you get up from your sleep?
10A little sleep, a little slumber,a little folding of the hands to rest –
11and poverty will come on you like a thiefand scarcity like an armed man.
