A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest,
Laziness brings on deep sleep; an idle person will suffer hunger.
Do not love sleep, or else you will come to poverty; open your eyes, and you will have plenty of bread.
for the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty, and drowsiness will clothe them with rags.
Go to the ant, you lazybones; consider its ways and be wise.
How long will you lie there, O lazybones? When will you rise from your sleep?
Fools fold their hands and consume their own flesh.
