Contextual Overview

⁶ Go unto the ant, O slothful one, See her ways and be wise; ⁷ Which hath not captain, overseer, and ruler, ⁸ She doth prepare in summer her bread, She hath gathered in harvest her food. ⁹ Till when, O slothful one, dost thou lie? When dost thou arise from thy sleep? ¹⁰ A little sleep, a little slumber, A little clasping of the hands to rest, ¹¹ And thy poverty hath come as a traveller, And thy want as an armed man.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard?.... Or "lie" q in bed, indulging in sloth and ease; while the industrious ant is busy in getting in its provisions, even by moonlight, as naturalists r observe;

when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep? and be about thy lawful calling? doing the duties of religion, and the business of life; providing things honest in the sight of all men; things necessary for thyself and family, and wherewith to do good to others; exercising a conscience void of offence both to God and men. Time should not be slept away, to the neglect of the affairs of life, nor of the concerns of the immortal soul and a future state; men should not be slothful in things temporal or spiritual: whatever may be the proper time to awake and arise out of sleep in a morning, which seems to be according to a man's circumstances, health and business; it is always high time for the sinner to awake out of the sleep of sin, and arise from the dead; and for the drowsy saint to arise out of his lethargy and carnal security.
