Proverbs 6:8-15 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

8. Provideth her meat for herself in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.

9. How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou rise out of thy sleep?

10. Thou wilt sleep a little, thou wilt slumber a little, thou wilt fold thy hands a little to sleep:

11. And want shall come upon thee, as a traveller, and poverty as a man armed. But if thou be diligent, thy harvest shall come as a fountain, and want shall flee far from thee.

12. A man that is an apostate, an unprofitable man, walketh with a perverse mouth,

13. He winketh with the eyes, presseth with the foot, speaketh with the finger.

14. With a wicked heart he deviseth evil, and at all times he soweth discord.

15. To such a one his destruction shall presently come, and he shall suddenly be destroyed, and shall no longer have any remedy.
