Wisdom for the Children of the King

DILIGENCE

NIV
4:23 - Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.
6:6 - Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise!
6:7 - It has no commander, no overseer or ruler,
6:8 - yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest.
6:9 - How long will you lie there, you sluggard? When will you get up from your sleep?
6:10 - A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest—
6:11 - and poverty will come on you like a bandit and scarcity like an armed man.

NASB
4:23 - Watch over your heart with all diligence, for from it flow the springs of life.
6:6 - Go to the ant, O sluggard, Observe her ways and be wise,
6:7 - Which, having no chief, Officer or ruler,
6:8 - Prepares her food in the summer and gathers her provision in the harvest.
6:9 - How long will you lie down, O sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep?
6:10 - A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to rest"—
6:11 - Your poverty will come in like a vagabond and your need like an armed man.

KJV
4:23 - Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
6:6 - Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:
6:7 - Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
6:8 - Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.
6:9 - How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?
6:10 - Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
6:11 - So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.
