Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and
be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its
provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. How long will you
lie there, you sluggard? When will you get up from your sleep? A little
sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest -- and
poverty will come on you like a bandit and scarcity like an armed man.
Proverbs 6:6-11
