6. Go to the ant, you sluggard!Consider her ways and be wise.
7. Which, having no guide,overseer, or ruler,
8. provides her bread in the summer,and gathers her food in the harvest.
9. How long will you sleep, O sluggard?When will you arise out of your sleep?
10. Yet a little sleep, a little slumber,a little folding of the hands to sleep—
11. so will your poverty come upon you like a stalker,and your need as an armed man.
12. A wayward person, a wicked man,walks with a perverse mouth.
13. He winks with his eyes,he signals with his feet,he motions with his fingers;
14. perversity is in his heart,he devises mischief continually, he sows discord.
15. Therefore his calamity will come suddenly;in a moment he will be broken without remedy.
16. These six things the Lord hates,yes, seven are an abomination to him:
17. a proud look,a lying tongue,and hands that shed innocent blood,
18. a heart that devises wicked imaginations,feet that are swift in running to mischief,
19. a false witness who speaks lies,and he who sows discord among brethren.
20. My son, keep your father’s commandment,and do not forsake the instruction of your mother.
