A Stroll Through Proverbs: Proverbs 6:6-6.11 “Laziness Yields Poverty”

6 “Go ^a to the ant [wise hard worker], thou sluggard [work hater]; consider her ways, and be wise:

            ^a Job 12:7-10; Proverbs 10:26, 13:4, 30:24-25

7 Which having no ^a guide [leader], overseer, or ruler,   

                                                                                           

            ^a Proverbs 30:27

8 Provideth [prepares] her meat [grain or bread] in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.

            Proverbs 10:5

9 ^a How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?

            ^a Proverbs 24:33-34

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

            Proverbs 24:33

11 ^a So shall thy poverty come as one [a prowler] that travelleth, and thy want [need] as an armed man.”

            ^a Proverbs 10:4
