Proverbs 24:33

American King James Version (1999)

Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:

See the chapter Copy

He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster.

Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.

Love not sleep, lest you come to poverty; open your eyes, and you shall be satisfied with bread.

Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked on it, and received instruction.

So shall your poverty come as one that travels; and your want as an armed man.

As the door turns on his hinges, so does the slothful on his bed.

The fool folds his hands together, and eats his own flesh.

And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.

Why he said, Awake you that sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give you light.
