懶惰人因冬寒不肯耕種，到收割的時候，他必討飯而無所得。

若長荊棘和蒺藜，必被廢棄，近於咒詛，結局就是焚燒。

耶和華對猶大和耶路撒冷人如此說：要開墾你們的荒地，不要撒種在荊棘中。

現在我告訴你們，我要向我葡萄園怎樣行：我必撤去籬笆，使它被吞滅，拆毀牆垣，使它被踐踏。

有落在荊棘裏的，荊棘長起來，把它擠住了；

願這地長蒺藜代替麥子，長惡草代替大麥。約伯的話說完了。

因為好酒貪食的，必致貧窮；好睡覺的，必穿破爛衣服。

撒在荊棘裏的，就是人聽了道，後來有世上的思慮、錢財的迷惑把道擠住了，不能結實。

敬畏耶和華的，得着生命；他必恆久知足，不遭禍患。

又對亞當說：你既聽從妻子的話，吃了我所吩咐你不可吃的那樹上的果子，地必為你的緣故受咒詛；你必終身勞苦才能從地裏得吃的。地必給你長出荊棘和蒺藜來；你也要吃田間的菜蔬。你必汗流滿面才得糊口，直到你歸了土，因為你是從土而出的。你本是塵土，仍要歸於塵土。

因人懶惰，房頂塌下；因人手懶，房屋滴漏。

懶惰人說：外頭有獅子；我在街上就必被殺。
