Those who drink or eat too much will become poor. If they sleep too much, they’ll have to wear rags.

Don’t love sleep, or you will become poor. Stay awake, and you will have more food than you need.

You might sleep a little or take a little nap. You might even fold your hands and rest.

You lazy people, how long will you lie there? When will you get up from your sleep?You might sleep a little or take a little nap. You might even fold your hands and rest.

Even when we were with you, we gave you a rule. We said,“ Anyone who won’t work shouldn’t be allowed to eat.”

That is why it is said,“ Wake up, sleeper. Rise from the dead. Then Christ will shine on you.”

Hands that don’t want to work make you poor. But hands that work hard bring wealth to you.A child who gathers crops in summer is wise. But a child who sleeps at harvest time brings shame.

When you do these things, keep in mind the times we are living in. The hour has already come for you to wake up from your sleep. The full effects of our salvation are closer now than when we first believed in Christ.The dark night of evil is nearly over. The day of Christ’s return is almost here. So let us get rid of the works of darkness that harm us. Let us do the works of light that protect us.

Israel’s prophets are blind. They don’t know the Lord. All of them are like watchdogs that can’t even bark. They just lie around and dream. They love to sleep.

A person who doesn’t want to work leaves his hand in the dish. He won’t even bring it back up to his mouth!
