懒惰人不按时耕种，收获时必一无所得。

若长出来的尽是荆棘和蒺藜，就毫无价值，它会面临被咒诅的危险，最后必遭焚烧。

耶和华对犹大人和耶路撒冷人说：“要开垦你们的荒地，不要在荆棘中撒种。

“现在，我告诉你们我会怎样处理这葡萄园，我要除去篱笆，任它被毁坏；我要拆毁围墙，任它被践踏。

耶和华上帝又对亚当说：“因为你听从妻子的话，吃了我吩咐你不可吃的果子，地必因你而受咒诅。你必终生艰辛劳苦，才能吃到地里出产的食物。地必给你长出荆棘和蒺藜，你要吃田间长出来的菜蔬。你必汗流满面，才有饭吃，一直到你归回尘土。因为你是尘土造的，也必归回尘土。”

屋顶因人懒惰而坍塌，房间因人游手好闲而漏雨。

懒惰人说：“外面有狮子，我会丧命街头。”
