SLOTHFULNESS

Reproof “Put Off”

“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.”
