Poor is one who works with a lazy hand, But the hand of the diligent makes rich.

The lazy one buries his hand in the dish, But will not even bring it back to his mouth.

A lazy one says,“ There is a lion on the road! A lion is in the public square!”As the door turns on its hinges, So does a lazy one on his bed.A lazy one buries his hand in the dish; He is weary of bringing it to his mouth again.A lazy one is wiser in his own eyes Than seven people who can give a discreet answer.

Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence, and in your moral excellence, knowledge,and in your knowledge, self control, and in your self control, perseverance, and in your perseverance, godliness,and in your godliness, brotherly kindness, and in your brotherly kindness, love.For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they do not make you useless nor unproductive in the true knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.For the one who lacks these qualities is blind or short sighted, having forgotten his purification from his former sins.Therefore, brothers and sisters, be all the more diligent to make certain about His calling and choice of you; for as long as you practice these things, you will never stumble;for in this way the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be abundantly supplied to you.

For when the foolish took their lamps, they did not take extra oil with them;but the prudent ones took oil in flasks with their lamps.Now while the groom was delaying, they all became drowsy and began to sleep.But at midnight there finally was a shout:‘ Behold, the groom! Come out to meet him.’Then all those virgins got up and trimmed their lamps.But the foolish virgins said to the prudent ones,‘ Give us some of your oil, because our lamps are going out.’However, the prudent ones answered,‘ No, there most certainly would not be enough for us and you too; go instead to the merchants and buy some for yourselves.’But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the groom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast; and the door was shut.

“ Now the one who had received the one talent also came up and said,‘ Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter seed.And I was afraid, so I went away and hid your talent in the ground. See, you still have what is yours.’“ But his master answered and said to him,‘ You worthless, lazy slave! Did you know that I reap where I did not sow, and gather where I did not scatter seed?Then you ought to have put my money in the bank, and on my arrival I would have received my money back with interest.Therefore: take the talent away from him, and give it to the one who has the ten talents.’

Then your poverty will come like a drifter, And your need like an armed man.

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

“ A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to rest,”Then your poverty will come in like a drifter, And your need like an armed man.
