Proverbs 6:4-11
New American Standard Bible
4 Give no (A)sleep to your eyes,
Nor slumber to your eyelids;
5 Save yourself like a gazelle from the hunter’s hand,
And like a (B)bird from the hand of the fowler.
6 Go to the (C)ant, you [a](D)lazy one,
Observe its ways and be wise,
7 Which, having (E)no chief,
Officer, or ruler,
8 Prepares its food (F)in the summer
And gathers its provision in the harvest.
9 How long will you lie down, you [b]lazy one?
When will you arise from your sleep?
10 “(G)A little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to [c]rest,”
11 (H)Then your poverty will come in like a [d]drifter,
And your need like [e]an armed man.
