Proverbs 6:6-11

Go and observe the ants, you slacker! Learn from what they do and become wise. They don't have a leader, an officer, or a ruler, yet they work hard during the summer getting their food, gathering what they need during the harvest. So how long are you going to lie there, you slacker? When are you going to get up from your sleep? You may say, “Please, just a little more sleep, a little longer snooze, a little more folding of the arms to rest”— and poverty will attack you like a robber, destitution like an armed warrior.
