Proverbs 6:6-11/Psalm 127: 1-2

Proverbs 6:6-11

6  Go to the ant, O sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise.

7  Without having any chief, officer, or ruler,

8  she prepares her bread in summer and gathers her food in harvest.

9  How long will you lie there, O sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep?

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

11  and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and want like an armed man.

Psalm 127: 1-2

1 Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.

2  It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved sleep.
