Proverbs 6:9-11
Contemporary English Version

9 How long will you lie there
    doing nothing at all?
When are you going to get up
    and stop sleeping?
10 (A) Sleep a little. Doze a little.
Fold your hands
    and twiddle your thumbs.
11 Suddenly, everything is gone,
as though it had been taken
    by an armed robber.

Proverbs 6:9-11
New International Version

9 How long will you lie there, you sluggard?(A)
    When will you get up from your sleep?
10 A little sleep, a little slumber,
    a little folding of the hands to rest(B)—
11 and poverty(C) will come on you like a thief
    and scarcity like an armed man.
