Proverbs 6:5–9

5 Escape like a gazelle from a hunter,D

like a bird from a hunter’s trap.D,l

LAZINESS

6 Go to the ant,m you slacker!n

Observe its ways and become wise.

7 Without leader, administrator, or ruler,

8 it prepares its provisions in summer;

it gathers its food during harvest.o

9 How long will you stay in bed, you slacker?

When will you get up from your sleep?
