Proverbs 6:4-11

Leeser(i) 4 Grant not any sleep to thy eyes, nor slumber to thy eyelids. 5 Deliver thyself as a roebuck from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler. 6 Go to the ant, thou sluggard; look on her ways, and become wise. 7 She, that hath no prince, officer, or ruler, 8 Provideth in the summer her provision, gathereth in harvest-time her food. 9 How long, O sluggard, wilt thou lie down? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep? 10 “A little more sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands in lying down;” 11 But then will thy poverty come like a rover, and thy want as a man armed with a shield.
