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.

He who tills his land will be satisfied with bread, But he who follows frivolity is devoid of understanding.

He who has a slack hand becomes poor, But the hand of the diligent makes rich.

The hand of the diligent will rule, But the lazy man will be put to forced labor.

But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge,to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness,to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love.For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble;for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

So that you incline your ear to wisdom, And apply your heart to understanding;Yes, if you cry out for discernment, And lift up your voice for understanding,If you seek her as silver, And search for her as for hidden treasures;Then you will understand the fear of the Lord, And find the knowledge of God.For the Lord gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding;He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk uprightly;He guards the paths of justice, And preserves the way of His saints.Then you will understand righteousness and justice, Equity and every good path.

The generous soul will be made rich, And he who waters will also be watered himself.

He who is of a proud heart stirs up strife, But he who trusts in the Lord will be prospered.

And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end,

Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him.”

Blessed is the man who listens to me, Watching daily at my gates, Waiting at the posts of my doors.

The Lord will guide you continually, And satisfy your soul in drought, And strengthen your bones; You shall be like a watered garden, And like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.

The lazy man says,“ There is a lion in the road! A fierce lion is in the streets!”

They shall still bear fruit in old age; They shall be fresh and flourishing,

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