Proverbs Chapter 6

6: Go to the ant, O sluggard, study her ways and learn wisdom;

7: For though she has no chief, no commander or ruler,

8: She procures her food in the summer, stores up her provisions in the harvest.

9: How long, O sluggard, will you rest? When will you rise from your sleep?

10: A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the arms to rest...

11: Then will poverty come upon you like a highwayman, and want like an armed man.

***

16: There are six things the Lord hates, yes, seven are an abomination to him.

17: Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

18: A heart that plots wicked schemes, feet that run swiftly to evil,

19: The false witness who utters lies, and he who sows discord among brothers.
