⁶ Lazy people should learn a lesson from the way ants live. ⁷ They have no leader, chief, or ruler, ⁸ but they store up their food during the summer, getting ready for winter. ⁹ How long is the lazy man going to lie around? When is he ever going to get up? ¹⁰ "I'll just take a short nap," he says; "I'll fold my hands and rest a while." ¹¹ But while he sleeps, poverty will attack him like an armed robber.
