Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
Give instruction to a wise man , and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man , and he will increase in learning.
There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.
There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.
All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him .
A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliver him , yet thou must do it again.
They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.
Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him.
There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.
The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer;
The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks;
The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;
She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
