Proverbs 6:6-12

Lazy people should learn a lesson from the way ants live. They have no leader, chief, or ruler, but they store up their food during the summer, getting ready for winter. How long is the lazy man going to lie in bed? When is he ever going to get up? “I'll just take a short nap,” he says; “I'll fold my hands and rest a while.” But while he sleeps, poverty will attack him like an armed robber. Worthless, wicked people go around telling lies.
