"For though she has no ruler, nor instructor, nor leader, "
— Proverbs 6:7, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,”
“Which having no chief, Overseer, or ruler, ”
“which having no chief, overseer, or ruler,”
“It has no commander, overseer, or ruler,”
“Which, although she hath no guide, nor master, nor captain,”
“Having no chief, overseer, or ruler,”
“Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,”
Do not grant sleep to your eyes, nor let your eyelids slumber.
Rescue yourself like a gazelle from the hand, and like a bird from the hand of the fowler.
Go to the ant, you lazy one, and consider her ways, and so learn wisdom.
For though she has no ruler, nor instructor, nor leader,
she provides meals for herself in the summer, and she gathers at the harvest what she may eat.
How long will you slumber, you lazy one? When will you rise up from your sleep?
You will sleep a little, you will slumber a little, you will fold your hands a little to sleep,
