Ecclesiastes 10:18

American Standard Version 2015

By slothfulness the roof sinketh in; and through idleness of the hands the house leaketh.

See the chapter Copy

Every wise woman buildeth her house;\par\tab But the foolish plucketh it down with her own hands.

The sluggard will not plow by reason of the winter;\par\tab Therefore he shall beg in harvest, and have nothing.

And we desire that each one of you may show the same diligence unto the fulness of hope even to the end:

For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty;\par\tab And drowsiness will clothe {\i a man} with rags.

The desire of the sluggard killeth him;\par\tab For his hands refuse to labor.

The hand of the diligent shall bear rule;\par\tab But the slothful shall be put under taskwork.
