Proverbs 6

A Lesson from the Ant

6-11 You lazy fool, look at an ant.
 
Watch it closely; let it teach you a thing or two.
 
Nobody has to tell it what to do.
 
All summer it stores up food;
 
at harvest it stockpiles provisions.
 
So how long are you going to laze around doing nothing?
 
How long before you get out of bed?
 
A nap here, a nap there, a day off here, a day off there,
 
sit back, take it easy—do you know what comes next?
 
Just this: You can look forward to a dirt-poor life,
 
poverty your permanent houseguest!
