A sluggard’s appetite is never filled, but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied.

People who refuse to work want things and get nothing. But the desires of people who work hard are completely satisfied.

The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied.

Lazy people want much but get little, but those who work hard will prosper.

The slacker craves, yet has nothing, but the diligent is fully satisfied.

The soul of the lazy one craves and gets nothing, But the soul of the diligent is made prosperous.

The soul of a lazy man desires, and has nothing; But the soul of the diligent shall be made rich.

The slacker craves, yet has nothing, but the diligent is fully satisfied.

The soul of the sluggard desireth, and[ hath] nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.

The appetite of the sluggard craves but gets nothing, but the desire of the diligent will be abundantly satisfied.

He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread; But he that followeth after vain persons is void of understanding.

He becometh poor that worketh with a slack hand; But the hand of the diligent maketh rich.

The hand of the diligent shall bear rule; But the slothful shall be put under taskwork.

Yea, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply virtue; and in your virtue knowledge;and in your knowledge self- control; and in your self- control patience; and in your patience godliness;and in your godliness brotherly kindness; and in your brotherly kindness love.For if these things are yours and abound, they make you to be not idle nor unfruitful unto the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.For he that lacketh these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins.Wherefore, brethren, give the more diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never stumble:for thus shall be richly supplied unto you the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

So as to incline thine ear unto wisdom, And apply thy heart to understanding;Yea, if thou cry after discernment, And lift up thy voice for understanding;If thou seek her as silver, And search for her as for hid treasures:Then shalt thou understand the fear of Jehovah, And find the knowledge of God.For Jehovah giveth wisdom; Out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding:He layeth up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to them that walk in integrity;That he may guard the paths of justice, And preserve the way of his saints.Then shalt thou understand righteousness and justice, And equity, yea, every good path.

The liberal soul shall be made fat; And he that watereth shall be watered also himself.

He that is of a greedy spirit stirreth up strife; But he that putteth his trust in Jehovah shall be made fat.

And we desire that each one of you may show the same diligence unto the fulness of hope even to the end:

Work not for the food which perisheth, but for the food which abideth unto eternal life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him the Father, even God, hath sealed.

Blessed is the man that heareth me, Watching daily at my gates, Waiting at the posts of my doors.

and Jehovah will guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in dry places, and make strong thy bones; and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.

The sluggard saith, There is a lion in the way; A lion is in the streets.

They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; They shall be full of sap and green:

Who can count the dust of Jacob, Or number the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, And let my last end be like his!
