^{6 Ref} Go unto the ant, O slothful one, See her ways and be wise;

^{7 Ref} Which hath not captain, overseer, and ruler,

^{8 Ref} She doth prepare in summer her bread, She hath gathered in harvest her food.

^{9 Ref} Till when, O slothful one, dost thou lie? When dost thou arise from thy sleep?

^{10 Ref} A little sleep, a little slumber, A little clasping of the hands to rest,

^{11 Ref} And thy poverty hath come as a traveller, And thy want as an armed man.

^{12 Ref} A man of worthlessness, a man of iniquity, Walking `with' perverseness of mouth,

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

^{7 Ref} Which having no chief, overseer, or ruler,

^{8 Ref} Provides her bread in the summer, And gathers her food in the harvest.

^{9 Ref} How long will you sleep, sluggard? When will you arise out of your sleep?

^{10 Ref} A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep:

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

^{12 Ref} A worthless person, a man of iniquity, Is he who walks with a perverse mouth;

^{6 Ref} Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:

^{7 Ref} Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,

^{8 Ref} Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.

^{9 Ref} How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?

^{10 Ref} Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:

^{11 Ref} So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.

^{12 Ref} A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.
