Proverbs 6:4-10 New English Translation (NET)

4. Permit no sleep to your eyesor slumber to your eyelids.

5. Deliver yourself like a gazelle from a snare,and like a bird from the trap of the fowler.

6. Go to the ant, you sluggard;observe its ways and be wise!

7. It has no commander, overseer, or ruler,

8. yet it prepares its food in the summer;it gathers at the harvest what it will eat.

9. How long, you sluggard, will you lie there?When will you rise from your sleep?

10. A little sleep, a little slumber,a little folding of the hands to relax,
