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;
14. In whose heart is perverseness, Who deviseth evil continually, Who soweth discord.
15. Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; On a sudden shall he be broken, and that without remedy.
