5. Deliver yourself like a gazelle from the hunter's hand And like a bird from the hand of the fowler.
6. Go to the ant, O sluggard, Observe her ways and be wise,
7. Which, having no chief, Officer or ruler,
8. Prepares her food in the summer And gathers her provision in the harvest.
9. How long will you lie down, O sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep?
10. "A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to rest"-
11. Your poverty will come in like a vagabond And your need like an armed man.
12. A worthless person, a wicked man, Is the one who walks with a perverse mouth,
13. Who winks with his eyes, who signals with his feet, Who points with his fingers;
14. Who with perversity in his heart continually devises evil, Who spreads strife.
15. Therefore his calamity will come suddenly; Instantly he will be broken and there will be no healing.
