Proverbs 6:11

American King James Version (1999)

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

See the chapter Copy

He becomes poor that deals with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent makes rich.

The soul of the sluggard desires, and has nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.

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.

The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing.

For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.

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

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

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