4
Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.
5
Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
6
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.
