New Testament

Proverbs 6:7-15 New King James Version (NKJV)

7. Which, having no captain,Overseer or ruler,

8. Provides her supplies in the summer,And gathers her food in the harvest.

9. How long will you slumber, O sluggard?When will you rise from your sleep?

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

11. So shall your poverty come on you like a prowler,And your need like an armed man.

12. A worthless person, a wicked man,Walks with a perverse mouth;

13. He winks with his eyes,He shuffles his feet,He points with his fingers;

14. Perversity is in his heart,He devises evil continually,He sows discord.

15. Therefore his calamity shall come suddenly;Suddenly he shall be broken without remedy.
