Proverbs 6:6-16

1. 6 Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:

2. 7 Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,

3. 8 Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.

4. 9 How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?

5. 10 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:

6. 11 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.

7. 12 A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.

8. 13 He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;

9. 14 Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.

10. 15 Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.

11. 16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
