"Go to the ant, you sluggard; observe its ways and be wise!"
— Proverbs 6:6, NET Bible
“Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:”
“ Go to the ant, thou sluggard; Consider her ways, and be wise: ”
“Go to the ant, you sluggard. Consider her ways, and be wise;”
“Go to the ant, O sluggard, and consider her ways, and learn wisdom:”
“Go to the ant, you hater of work; give thought to her ways and be wise:”
“Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:”
then, my child, do this in order to deliver yourself, because you have fallen into your neighbor’s power: go, humble yourself, and appeal firmly to your neighbor.
Permit no sleep to your eyes or slumber to your eyelids.
Deliver yourself like a gazelle from a snare, and like a bird from the trap of the fowler.
Go to the ant, you sluggard; observe its ways and be wise!
It has no commander, overseer, or ruler,
yet it would prepare its food in the summer; it gathered at the harvest what it will eat.
How long, you sluggard, will you lie there? When will you rise from your sleep?
