³³ `Yet' a little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep;

⁴ Give not sleep to thine eyes, Nor slumber to thine eyelids;

⁵ Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand `of the hunter', And as a bird from the hand of the fowler.

⁶ Go to the ant, thou sluggard; Consider her ways, and be wise:

⁷ Which having no chief, Overseer, or ruler,

⁸ Provideth her bread in the summer, And gathereth her food in the harvest.

⁹ How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? When wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?

¹⁰ `Yet' a little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep:

¹¹ So shall thy poverty come as a robber, And thy want as an armed man.

¹¹ And this, knowing the season, that already it is time for you to awake out of sleep: for now is salvation nearer to us than when we `first' believed.

¹⁴ Wherefore `he' saith, Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall shine upon thee.

⁶ so then let us not sleep, as do the rest, but let us watch and be sober.

⁷ For they that sleep sleep in the night: and they that are drunken are drunken in the night.

⁸ But let us, since we are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.
