Go to the Emmet (thou sluggard) consider1 her ways, and learn to be wise. She hath no guide nor overseer, nor ruler: yet in the summer she provideth her meat, and gathereth her food together in the harvest. How long wilt thou sleep thou sluggish man? When wilt thou arise out of thy sleep? Yea sleep on still a little, slum ber a little, fold thine hands together yet a little that thou mayest sleep: •o shall poverty come unto, thee as one that traveleth by the way, and oppress thee like a these.
