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

⁴ Give no sleep to your eyes, Nor slumber to your eyelids.

⁵ Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, Like a bird from the snare of the fowler.

⁶ Go to the ant, you sluggard. Consider her ways, and be wise;

⁷ Which having no chief, overseer, or ruler,

⁸ Provides her bread in the summer, And gathers her food in the harvest.

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.

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.

¹⁴ Therefore he says, "Awake, you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you."

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.

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