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

⁷ For those who sleep, sleep in the night, and those who are drunken are drunken in the night.

¹¹ Do this, knowing the time, that it is already time for you to awaken out of sleep, for salvation is now nearer to us than when we first believed.

¹² The night is far gone, and the day is near. Let's therefore throw off the works of darkness, and let's put on the armor of light.

¹³ Let us walk properly, as in the day; not in reveling and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and lustful acts, and not in strife and jealousy.

¹⁴ But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, for its lusts.

¹ By night on my bed, I sought him whom my soul loves. I sought him, but I didn't find him.

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

³⁴ So shall your poverty come as a robber, And your want as an armed man.

⁹ How long will you sleep, sluggard? When will you arise out of your sleep?

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

¹¹ So your poverty will come as a robber, And your scarcity as an armed man.
