Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Proverbs 6
³ So do this, my son, and deliver yourself; For you have come into the hand of your friend: Go and humble yourself; Plead with your friend.
⁴ Give no sleep to your eyes, Nor slumber to your eyelids.
⁵ Deliver yourself like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, And like a bird from the hand of the fowler.
⁶ Go to the ant, you sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise,
⁷ Which, having no captain, Overseer or ruler,
⁸ Provides her supplies in the summer, And gathers her food in the harvest.
⁹ How long will you slumber, O sluggard? When will you rise from your sleep?
¹⁰ A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep--
¹¹ So shall your poverty come on you like a prowler, And your need like an armed man.
¹² A worthless person, a wicked man, Walks with a perverse mouth;
¹³ He winks with his eyes, He shuffles his feet, He points with his fingers;
