Proverbs 6:7-12 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

7. For though she has no chief,no commander or ruler,

8. She procures her food in the summer,stores up her provisions in the harvest.

9. How long, O sluggard, will you lie there?when will you rise from your sleep?

10. A little sleep, a little slumber,a little folding of the arms to rest—

11. Then poverty will come upon you like a robber,and want like a brigand.

12. Scoundrels, villains, are theywho deal in crooked talk.
