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.

He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster.

Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where[ is] the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk[ therein].

By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as[ in] a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker[ is] God.Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead,[ so many] as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of[ them], and embraced[ them], and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.And truly, if they had been mindful of that[ country] from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.But now they desire a better[ country], that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten[ son],

Knowing[ this], that the trying of your faith worketh patience.

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