4. Give not [unnecessary] sleep to your eyes, nor slumber to your eyelids;
5. Deliver yourself, as a roe or gazelle from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
6. Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider her ways and be wise!–[Job 12:7.]
7. Which, having no chief, overseer, or ruler,
8. Provides her food in the summer and gathers her supplies in the harvest.
9. How long will you sleep, O sluggard? When will you arise out of your sleep? [Prov. 24:33, 34.]
