In context
8 Prepareth, in the summer, her food, hath collected, in the harvest, her sustenance.
9 How long, O sluggard, wilt thou lie? how long ere thou rise from thy sleep?
10 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest:—
11 So shall come in, as a highwayman, thy poverty, and, thy want, as one armed with a shield.
12 An abandoned man, a man of iniquity, [is he] who—goeth on in perversity of mouth;
13 Winketh with his eyes, speaketh with his foot, pointeth with his fingers;
14 [Hath] perverse things in his heart, deviseth mischief on every occasion, strifes, he sendeth forth.
