“ But his master answered and said to him,‘ You worthless, lazy slave! Did you know that I reap where I did not sow, and gather where I did not scatter seed?

I passed by the field of a lazy one, And by the vineyard of a person lacking sense,And behold, it was completely overgrown with weeds; Its surface was covered with weeds, And its stone wall was broken down.When I saw, I reflected upon it; I looked, and received instruction.“ A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to rest,”Then your poverty will come like a drifter, And your need like an armed man.

Go to the ant, you lazy one, Observe its ways and be wise,Which, having no chief, Officer, or ruler,Prepares its food in the summer And gathers its provision in the harvest.How long will you lie down, you lazy one? When will you arise from your sleep?“ A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to rest,”Then your poverty will come in like a drifter, And your need like an armed man.
