Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise!

You people who don’t want to work, think about the ant! Consider its ways and be wise!

Go to the ant, you sluggard. Consider her ways, and be wise;

The slacker craves, yet has nothing, but the diligent is fully satisfied.

The slacker does not plow during planting season; at harvest time he looks, and there is nothing.

“ His master replied to him,‘ You evil, lazy servant! If you knew that I reap where I haven’t sown and gather where I haven’t scattered,

Like vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes, so the slacker is to the one who sends him on an errand.

ants are not a strong people, yet they store up their food in the summer;

The one who is lazy in his work is brother to a vandal.

How long will you stay in bed, you slacker? When will you get up from your sleep?

so that you won’t become lazy but will be imitators of those who inherit the promises through faith and perseverance.

Do not lack diligence in zeal; be fervent in the Spirit; serve the Lord.

The slacker says,“ There’s a lion in the road— a lion in the public square!”A door turns on its hinges, and a slacker, on his bed.The slacker buries his hand in the bowl; he is too weary to bring it to his mouth!In his own eyes, a slacker is wiser than seven who can answer sensibly.

I went by the field of a slacker and by the vineyard of one lacking sense.Thistles had come up everywhere, weeds covered the ground, and the stone wall was ruined.I saw, and took it to heart; I looked, and received instruction:a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the arms to rest,and your poverty will come like a robber, and your need, like a bandit.

But ask the animals, and they will instruct you; ask the birds of the sky, and they will tell you.Or speak to the earth, and it will instruct you; let the fish of the sea inform you.

A slacker’s craving will kill him because his hands refuse to work.

The slacker says,“ There’s a lion outside! I’ll be killed in the public square!”

The slacker buries his hand in the bowl; he doesn’t even bring it back to his mouth!

Laziness induces deep sleep, and a lazy person will go hungry.

A slacker’s way is like a thorny hedge, but the path of the upright is a highway.

It is useless to spread a net where any bird can see it,

Consider the birds of the sky: They don’t sow or reap or gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you worth more than they?

The ox knows its owner, and the donkey its master’s feeding trough, but Israel does not know; my people do not understand.”
