اِذْهَبْ إِلَى النَّمْلَةِ أَيُّهَا الْكَسْلاَنُ. تَأَمَّلْ طُرُقَهَا وَكُنْ حَكِيمًا.
الَّتِي لَيْسَ لَهَا قَائِدٌ أَوْ عَرِيفٌ أَوْ مُتَسَلِّطٌ،
وَتُعِدُّ فِي الصَّيْفِ طَعَامَهَا، وَتَجْمَعُ فِي الْحَصَادِ أُكْلَهَا.
إِلَى مَتَى تَنَامُ أَيُّهَا الْكَسْلاَنُ؟ مَتَى تَنْهَضُ مِنْ نَوْمِكَ؟
(أم٦ :٦ -٩ )

Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. How long will you lie there, you sluggard? When will you get up from your sleep?

(Proverbs 6:6-9, NIV)
