Look to the ant, thou sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise,
7
which, having no guide, overseer or ruler,
8
provideth her meat in the summer and gathereth her food in the harvest.
9
How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? When wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?
10
Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep"
11
so shall thy poverty come as a marauder, and thy want as an armed man.
12
A vile person, a wicked man walketh with a froward mouth;
13
he winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;
14
frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually, he soweth discord.
15
Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.
16
These six things doth the LORD hate, yea, seven are an abomination unto Him:
17
a proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,
18
a heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19
a false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
