⁶ You people who don't want to work, think about the ant! Consider its ways and be wise! ⁷ It has no commander. It has no leader or ruler. ⁸ But it stores up its food in summer. It gathers its food at harvest time. ⁹ You lazy people, how long will you lie there? When will you get up from your sleep? ¹⁰ You might sleep a little or take a little nap. You might even fold your hands and rest. ¹¹ Then you would be poor, as if someone had robbed you. You would have little, as if someone had stolen from you.
