calling loudly at the city gates and wherever people come together ~ take a listen hmm

ii) How long will you lie down, O lazy one?
When will you arise from your sleep
“Yet a little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands ..sleep comes”—
So your poverty will come like an approaching prowler who walks..
And your need like an armed man.
(Proverbs 6:9-11)
Go to the ant, O lazy one;
Observe her ways and be wise ~
Which, having no chief it gathers its food at harvest.
Having no Overseer nor a ruler ..
She prepares her food in the summer .
(Proverbs 6:6-8)
Take a listen....

iii).It is not for kings to drink,
not for rulers to crave beer,
