Mishle 6:6-11

Orthodox Jewish Bible

⁶ Go to the nemalah (ant), thou atzel (sluggard, lazy one); consider her drakhim (ways), and be chacham (wise);

⁷ Which having no katzin (officer, leader) or shoter (policeman) or moshel,

⁸ Prepareth her lechem in the kayitz (summer), and gathereth her food in the katzir (harvest).

⁹ Ad mosai wilt thou lie down, O atzel (sluggard, lazy one)? When wilt thou arise out of thy sheynah (sleep)?

¹⁰ Yet a little sheynot (sleep [pl.]), a little slumber, a little folding of the yadayim to sleep;

¹¹ So shall thy poverty come as a prowler, and thy need as an ish mogen (man of armor).
