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

The soul of the sluggard desires, and has nothing, but the desire of the diligent shall be fully satisfied.

Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep. The idle soul shall suffer hunger.

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

Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

Don’t love sleep, lest you come to poverty. Open your eyes, and you shall be satisfied with bread.

The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; he will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.

Go to the ant, you sluggard. Consider her ways, and be wise;which having no chief, overseer, or ruler,provides her bread in the summer, and gathers her food in the harvest.How long will you sleep, sluggard? When will you arise out of your sleep?A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:so your poverty will come as a robber, and your scarcity as an armed man.

There is one who scatters, and increases yet more. There is one who withholds more than is appropriate, but gains poverty.

We desire that each one of you may show the same diligence to the fullness of hope even to the end,that you won’t be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and perseverance inherited the promises.

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.

Don’t work for the food which perishes, but for the food which remains to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has sealed him.”

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.

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