| 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. | |
