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

Which, having no chief, Officer, or ruler,

Prepares its food in the summer And gathers its provision in the harvest.

How long will you lie down, you lazy one? When will you arise from your sleep?

Then your poverty will come in like a drifter, And your need like an armed man.
