Proverbs 6:9 in Context — Proverbs 6

7 Elle n’a ni chef, Ni inspecteur, ni maître;

8 Elle prépare en été sa nourriture, Elle amasse pendant la moisson de quoi manger.

9 Paresseux, jusqu’à quand seras-tu couché? Quand te lèveras-tu de ton sommeil?

10 Un peu de sommeil, un peu d’assoupissement, Un peu croiser les mains pour dormir!…

11 Et la pauvreté te surprendra, comme un rôdeur, Et la disette, comme un homme en armes.
