Proverbs 6:6-11 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

6. Go to the ant, O sluggard,study her ways and learn wisdom;

7. For though she has no chief,no commander or ruler,

8. She procures her food in the summer,stores up her provisions in the harvest.

9. How long, O sluggard, will you lie there?when will you rise from your sleep?

10. A little sleep, a little slumber,a little folding of the arms to rest—

11. Then poverty will come upon you like a robber,and want like a brigand.
