6 (B)Go to the ant, you sluggard!
Consider her ways and be wise,

Overseer or ruler,
8 Provides her [c]supplies in the summer,
And gathers her food in the harvest.
9 (C)How long will you [d]slumber, O sluggard?
When will you rise from your sleep?

A little folding of the hands to sleep—

And your need like an armed man.
