A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to lie down:
Go to the ant, thou slothful one; see her ways, and be wise:
How long, O slothful one, wilt thou lie down? when wilt thou rise from thy sleep?
Sloth will cast a deep sleep; and the soul of sloth shall hunger.
Thou shalt not love sleep lest thou shalt be dispossessed: open wide thine eyes, being filled with bread.
For the drunkard and the squanderer shall be dispossessed: and slumber shall clothe with rags.
The foolish one folded his hands together, and ate his flesh.
