“Wake up, sleeper,^(A)
    rise from the dead,^(B)
    and Christ will shine on you.”^(C)

¹³ Do not love sleep or you will grow poor;^(A)
    stay awake and you will have food to spare.

⁶ Go to the ant, you sluggard;^(E)
    consider its ways and be wise!
⁷ It has no commander,
    no overseer or ruler,
⁸ yet it stores its provisions in summer^(F)
    and gathers its food at harvest.^(G)

⁹ How long will you lie there, you sluggard?^(H)
    When will you get up from your sleep?
¹⁰ A little sleep, a little slumber,
    a little folding of the hands to rest^(I)—
¹¹ and poverty^(J) will come on you like a thief
    and scarcity like an armed man.
