Proverbs 6:5-13 American Standard Version (ASV)

5. Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, And as a bird from the hand of the fowler.

6. Go to the ant, thou sluggard; Consider her ways, and be wise:

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

8. Provideth her bread in the summer, And gathereth her food in the harvest.

9. How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? When wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?

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

11. So shall thy poverty come as a robber, And thy want as an armed man.

12. A worthless person, a man of iniquity, Is he that walketh with a perverse mouth;

13. That winketh with his eyes, that speaketh with his feet, That maketh signs with his fingers;
