Proverbs 6:7

WorkWisdom

5 Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, like a bird from the snare of the fowler.

6 Walk in the manner of the ant, O slacker; observe its ways and become wise.

Without a commander, without an overseer or ruler,

8 it prepares its provisions in summer; it gathers its food at harvest.

9 How long will you lie there, O slacker? When will you get up from your sleep?

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
