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.
12. Scoundrels, villains, are theywho deal in crooked talk.
13. Shifty of eye,feet ever moving,pointing with fingers,
14. They have perversity in their hearts,always plotting evil,sowing discord.
15. Therefore their doom comes suddenly;in an instant they are crushed beyond cure.
16. There are six things the Lord hates,yes, seven are an abomination to him;
17. Haughty eyes, a lying tongue,hands that shed innocent blood,
18. A heart that plots wicked schemes,feet that are quick to run to evil,
