Proverbs 6:10

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 rest—

"A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to rest"—

A little extra sleep, a little more slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest––

A nap here, a nap there, a day off here, a day off there, sit back, take it easy--do you know what comes next?

A little sleep, a little rest, a little folding of the hands in sleep:

A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest,

A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep––

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

¹ sn The writer might in this verse be imitating the words of the sluggard who just wants to take “a little nap.” The use is ironic, for by indulging in this little rest the lazy one comes to ruin.
