Go To The Ant
Proverbs 6:6-11

from All Nations Shall Worship

Go to the ant, O sluggard,
Observe her ways and be wise,
Which, having no chief, Officer or ruler,
Prepares her food in the summer,
And gathers her provision in the harvest.
How long will you lie down, O sluggard?
When will you arise from your sleep?
"A little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to rest" -
And your poverty will come in like a vagabond,
And your need like an armed man.
