New Testament

Proverbs 6:7-13 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

7. It has no commander. It has no leader or ruler.

8. But it stores up its food in summer. It gathers its food at harvest time.

9. You lazy people, how long will you lie there? When will you get up from your sleep?

10. You might sleep a little or take a little nap. You might even fold your hands and rest.

11. Then you would be poor, as if someone had robbed you. You would have little, as if someone had stolen from you.

12. A worthless and evil man goes around saying twisted things with his mouth.

13. He winks with his eyes. He makes signals with his feet. He motions with his fingers.
