Bible verse
A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest,
Proverbs 6:10 · BSB
The verses around it, from Proverbs 6.
6 Walk in the manner of the ant, O slacker; observe its ways and become wise.
7 Without a commander, without an overseer or ruler,
8 it prepares its provisions in summer; it gathers its food at harvest.
9 How long will you lie there, O slacker? When will you get up from your sleep?
10 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest,
11 and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and need like a bandit.
12 A worthless person, a wicked man, walks with a perverse mouth,
13 winking his eyes, speaking with his feet, and pointing with his fingers.
14 With deceit in his heart he devises evil; he continually sows discord.
