A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to lie down;
Laziness makes one fall into a deep sleep, and an idle soul shall be hungry.
Do not love sleep, lest you be dispossessed; open your eyes, be satisfied with bread.
for the drunkard and the one being a glutton lose all, and with drowsiness shall clothe one with rags.
Go to the ant, lazy man; see her ways and be wise;
Until when will you lie down, O lazy man? When will you arise out of your sleep?
The fool folds his hands together and eats his own flesh.
