Proverbs 6:10

8 Provides her¹ supplies in the summer,
And gathers her food in the harvest.

9 ^aHow long will you¹ slumber, O sluggard?
When will you rise from your sleep?

10 A little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to sleep—

11 ^aSo shall your poverty come on you like a prowler,
And your need like an armed man.

The Wicked Man

12 A worthless person, a wicked man,
Walks with a perverse mouth;

13 ^aHe¹ winks with his eyes,
He shuffles his feet,
He points with his fingers;
