Proverbs 6:8-15 Good News Bible (GNB)

8. but they store up their food during the summer, getting ready for winter.

9. How long is the lazy man going to lie in bed? When is he ever going to get up?

10. “I'll just take a short nap,” he says; “I'll fold my hands and rest a while.”

11. But while he sleeps, poverty will attack him like an armed robber.

12. Worthless, wicked people go around telling lies.

13. They wink and make gestures to deceive you,

14. all the while planning evil in their perverted minds, stirring up trouble everywhere.

15. Because of this, disaster will strike them without warning, and they will be fatally wounded.
