4. Give no sleep to your eyes, nor slumber to your eyelids.
5. Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, like a bird from the snare of the fowler.
6. Go to the ant, you sluggard. Consider her ways, and be wise;

8. provides her bread in the summer, and gathers her food in the harvest.
