Proverbs 6:7-12 Amplified Bible (AMP)

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

8. Provides her food in the summer and gathers her supplies in the harvest.

9. How long will you sleep, O sluggard? When will you arise out of your sleep? [Prov. 24:33, 34.]

10. Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to lie down and sleep–

11. So will your poverty come like a robber or one who travels [with slowly but surely approaching steps] and your want like an armed man [making you helpless]. [Prov. 10:4; 13:4; 20:4.]

12. A worthless person, a wicked man, is he who goes about with a perverse (contrary, wayward) mouth.
