A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to relax, ¹ 

“A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to relax,

Little children, guard yourselves from idols. ¹ 

the little owl, the cormorant, the screech owl,

A little yeast makes the whole batch of dough rise! ¹ 

Little by little ¹  I will drive them out before you, until you become fruitful and inherit the land.

Wealth gained quickly ¹  will dwindle away, ²  but the one who gathers it little by little ³  will become rich. ⁴ 

In a little while you ¹  will see me no longer; again after a little while, you ²  will see me.” ³ 

Therefore I tell you, her sins, which were many, are forgiven, thus she loved much; ¹  but the one who is forgiven little loves little.”

as it is written: “The one who gathered ¹  much did not have too much, and the one who gathered little did not have too little.” ² 

Live with him for a little while ¹  until your brother’s rage subsides.

“Then our father said, ‘Go back and buy us a little food.’

the little owl, the long-eared owl, the white owl, ¹ 

They allow their children to run ¹  like a flock; their little ones dance about.

and make them a little less than the heavenly beings? ¹  You grant mankind ²  honor and majesty; ³ 

Better ¹  is little with the fear of the Lord than great wealth and turmoil ²  with it. ³ 

Better to have a little with righteousness ¹  than to have abundant income without justice. ² 

ants are creatures with little strength, but they prepare ¹  their food in the summer;

rock badgers ¹  are creatures with little power, but they make their homes in the crags;

Whoever then humbles himself like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
