As a door turns on its hinges, So does the lazy one turn on his bed.
As the door turneth upon his hinges, So doth the slothful upon his bed.
As the door turns on its hinges, so does the lazy man [move not from his place] upon his bed.
As the door turneth upon its hinges, So doth the sluggard upon his bed.
As a door turns on its hinge, so do lazy people in their beds.
Just as a door turns upon its hinges, so also does the lazy one turn upon his bed.
As the door turneth upon its hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.
The hand of the hard worker rules, But the lazy is put to compulsory labour.
The lazy one has no game to roast, But the hard worker prizes his possessions.
A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to rest;
Go to the ant, you lazy one! See her ways and be wise,
in order that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through belief and patience inherit the promises.
