Proverbs 6:6-11

⁶You lazy fool, look at an ant. Watch it closely; let it teach you a thing or two.c

⁷Nobody has to tell it what to do.

⁸All summer it stores up food; at harvest it stockpiles provisions.

⁹So how long are you going to laze around doing nothing? How long before you get out of bed?

¹⁰A nap here, a nap there, a day off here, a day off there, sit back, take it easy--do you know what comes next?

¹¹Just this: You can look forward to a dirt-poor life, poverty your permanent houseguest!
