Proverbs 6:7-16 Modern English Version (MEV)

7. Which, having no guide,overseer, or ruler,

8. provides her bread in the summer,and gathers her food in the harvest.

9. How long will you sleep, O sluggard?When will you arise out of your sleep?

10. Yet a little sleep, a little slumber,a little folding of the hands to sleep—

11. so will your poverty come upon you like a stalker,and your need as an armed man.

12. A wayward person, a wicked man,walks with a perverse mouth.

13. He winks with his eyes,he signals with his feet,he motions with his fingers;

14. perversity is in his heart,he devises mischief continually, he sows discord.

15. Therefore his calamity will come suddenly;in a moment he will be broken without remedy.

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