Bible verse
Without a commander, without an overseer or ruler,
Proverbs 6:7 · BSB
The verses around it, from Proverbs 6.
3 then do this, my son, to free yourself, for you have fallen into your neighbor’s hands: Go, humble yourself, and press your plea with your neighbor.
4 Allow no sleep to your eyes or slumber to your eyelids.
5 Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, like a bird from the snare of the fowler.
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.
