 5Escápate como el corzo de la mano del cazador, Y como el ave de la mano del parancero.
 6Ve á la hormiga, oh perezoso Mira sus caminos, y sé sabio;
 7La cual no teniendo capitán, Ni gobernador, ni señor,
 8Prepara en el verano su comida Y allega en el tiempo de la siega su mantenimiento.
 9Perezoso, ¿hasta cuándo has de dormir? ¿Cuándo te levantarás de tu sueño?
 10Un poco de sueño, un poco de dormitar, Y cruzar por un poco las manos para reposo:
 11Así vendrá tu necesidad como caminante, Y tu pobreza como hombre de escudo. (Pr. 6:4‑11)
