The Folly of Sloth

Proverbs 6:6-11

Go to the ant, you lazybones! Consider its ways, and be wise.

It has no chief, overseer or ruler;

yet it provides its food in summer and gathers its supplies at harvest-time.

Lazybones! How long will you lie there in bed? When will you get up from your sleep?

"I'll just lie here a bit, rest a little longer, just fold my hands for a little more sleep"-

and poverty comes marching in on you, scarcity hits you like an invading soldier.
