Proverbs 6:10

Bible in Basic English 1965

A little sleep, a little rest, a little folding of the hands in sleep:

See the chapter Copy

Hate of work sends deep sleep on a man: and he who has no industry will go without food.

Do not be a lover of sleep, or you will become poor: keep your eyes open, and you will have bread enough.

For those who take delight in drink and feasting will come to be in need; and through love of sleep a man will be poorly clothed.

Go to the ant, you hater of work; give thought to her ways and be wise:

How long will you be sleeping, O hater of work? when will you get up from your sleep?

The foolish man, folding his hands, takes the flesh of his body for food.
