By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through.

因人懒惰，房顶塌下；因人手懒，房屋滴漏。

因人懒惰，房顶塌下；因人手懒，房屋滴漏。

因人懒惰，房顶塌下；因人手懒，房屋滴漏。

屋顶因人懒惰而坍塌，房间因人游手好闲而漏雨。

房顶塌下是因为懒惰，房屋滴漏是因为懒得动手。

因人懒惰，房顶塌落；因手闲散，房屋漏雨。

因人懶惰，房頂塌下；因人手懶，房屋滴漏。

因人懶惰，房頂塌下；因人手懶，房屋滴漏。

因人懶惰，房頂塌下；因人手懶，房屋滴漏。

屋頂因人懶惰而坍塌，房間因人遊手好閒而漏雨。

房頂塌下是因為懶惰，房屋滴漏是因為懶得動手。

由於懶惰，房頂就塌下；由於手懶，房屋就滴漏。

因人懶惰，房頂塌落；因手閒散，房屋漏雨。

人惰則榱陷、手懈則屋漏、

人惰而不修其室、則棟撓屋漏。

緣怠而梁墮、緣懈而屋漏、

Through laziness, the rafters sag; because of idle hands, the house leaks.

When a person won’t work, the roof falls down. Because of hands that aren’t busy, the house leaks.

Through sloth the roof sinks in, and through indolence the house leaks.

Laziness leads to a sagging roof; idleness leads to a leaky house.

Because of laziness the roof caves in, and because of negligent hands the house leaks.

Through extreme laziness the rafters sag, and through idleness the house leaks.

Because of laziness the building decays, And through idleness of hands the house leaks.

By slothfulness the roof sinketh in; and through idleness of the hands the house leaketh.

Because of laziness the roof caves in, and because of negligent hands the house leaks.

Because of laziness the roof caves in, and because of idle hands the house leaks.

By slothfulness the roof sinks in; and through idleness of the hands the house leaks.

Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.

I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns,[ and] nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.Then I saw,[ and] considered[ it] well: I looked upon[ it, and] received instruction.[ Yet] a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:So shall thy poverty come[ as] one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man.

The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold;[ therefore] shall he beg in harvest, and[ have] nothing.

And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.For if these things be in you, and abound, they make[ you that ye shall] neither[ be] barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:

And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:

The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labour.

For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe[ a man] with rags.

The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.
