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

I went by the field of the sluggard, by the vineyard of the man void of understanding:Behold, it was all grown over with thorns. Its surface was covered with nettles, and its stone wall was broken down.Then I saw, and considered well. I saw, and received instruction:a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep,so your poverty will come as a robber and your want as an armed man.

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

Yes, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, knowledge;and in knowledge, self- control; and in self- control perseverance; and in perseverance godliness;and in godliness brotherly affection; and in brotherly affection, love.For if these things are yours and abound, they make you to not be idle or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.For he who lacks these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins.Therefore, brothers, be more diligent to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never stumble.

We desire that each one of you may show the same diligence to the fullness of hope even to the end,

The desire of the sluggard kills him, for his hands refuse to labor.

for the drunkard and the glutton shall become poor; and drowsiness clothes them in rags.

The hands of the diligent ones shall rule, but laziness ends in slave labor.
