⁶jGo to kthe ant, O lsluggard;

consider her ways, and mbe wise.

⁷nWithout having any chief,

oofficer, or ruler,

⁸she prepares her bread pin summer

and qgathers her food in harvest.

⁹rHow long will you lie there, lO sluggard?

When will you arise from your sleep?

¹⁰sA little sleep, a little slumber,

ta little sfolding of the hands to rest,

¹¹uand poverty will come upon you like a robber,

and want like an armed man.

¹²vA worthless person, a wicked man,

goes about with wcrooked speech,

¹³xwinks with his eyes, signals3 with his feet,

points with his finger,

¹⁴with yperverted heart zdevises evil,

continually asowing discord;

¹⁵therefore calamity will come upon him suddenly;

bin a moment he will be broken cbeyond healing.

¹⁶There are dsix things that the Lord hates,

dseven that are an abomination to him:

¹⁷ehaughty eyes, fa lying tongue,

and ghands that shed innocent blood,

¹⁸ha heart that devises wicked plans,

ifeet that make haste to run to evil,

¹⁹ja false witness who kbreathes out lies,

and one who asows discord among brothers.
