懶惰人因冬寒不去耕種，到收割時，他去尋找，一無所得。

這塊田地若長荊棘和蒺藜，必被廢棄，近於詛咒，結局就是焚燒。

耶和華對猶大人和耶路撒冷人如此說：「你們要為自己開墾荒地，不要撒種在荊棘裏。

現在我告訴你們，我要向我的葡萄園怎麼做。我必撤去籬笆，使它被燒燬；拆毀圍牆，使它被踐踏。

又對亞當說：「你既聽從你妻子的話，吃了那樹上所出的，就是我吩咐你不可吃的，土地必因你的緣故受詛咒；你必終生勞苦才能從土地得吃的。土地必給你長出荊棘和蒺藜來；你也要吃田間的五穀菜蔬。你必汗流滿面才有食物可吃，直到你歸了土地，因為你是從土地而出的。你本是塵土，仍要歸回塵土。」

因人懶惰，房頂塌下；因人手懶，房屋滴漏。

懶惰人說：「外面有獅子，我在街上必被殺害。」
