Proverbs 6:6-11 - Against Sloth

6 Go to the ant, lazy! Consider its ways and be wise. 7 It has no chief, officer, or ruler. 8 In the summer, it prepares its food; in the harvest, it gathers its sustenance. 9 How long will you lie down, lazy? When will you rise up from your sleep? 10 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands for rest-- 11 like a {robber} shall your poverty come, and what you lack like an armed man.
