Proverbs 6:6-11

6Learn a lesson from the ants, you lazy person! See how hard they work.

7They have no leader or ruler,

8but they get their food during the summer. At the time of harvest they store food to prepare for winter.

9But you, you lazy man, you lie in bed too long! Will you never get up to work?

10You say, ‘I will have a short sleep. I will rest quietly for a while.’

11But while you sleep you will suddenly become poor. You will have nothing, as if someone has robbed you.
