⁶ You lazy people can learn by watching an anthill. ⁷ Ants don't have leaders, ⁸ but they store up food during harvest season. ⁹ How long will you lie there doing nothing at all? When are you going to get up and stop sleeping? ¹⁰ Sleep a little. Doze a little. Fold your hands and twiddle your thumbs. ¹¹ Suddenly, everything is gone, as though it had been taken by an armed robber.
