Proverbs 6:6-19
6
Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
7
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
8
yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.
9
How long will you lie there, you sluggard?
When will you get up from your sleep?
10
A little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest—
11
and poverty will come on you like a bandit
and scarcity like an armed man.
12
A scoundrel and villain,
who goes about with a corrupt mouth,
13
who winks with his eye,
signals with his feet
and motions with his fingers,
14
who plots evil with deceit in his heart—
he always stirs up dissension.
15
Therefore disaster will overtake him in an instant;
he will suddenly be destroyed—without remedy.
16
There are six things the Lord hates,
seven that are detestable to him:
17
haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,
hands that shed innocent blood,
18
a heart that devises wicked schemes,
feet that are quick to rush into evil,
19
a false witness who pours out lies
and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.
