As a door turns on its hinges, so does a sluggard 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 diligent will rule, while the slothful will be put to forced labor.
A slothful man will not catch his prey, but the diligent man will get precious wealth.
A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest,
Go to the ant, O sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise.
so that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
