Ecclesiastes 10:18

Contemporary English Version 1995

Some people are too lazy to fix a leaky roof— then the house collapses.

See the chapter Copy

A woman's family is held together by her wisdom, but it can be destroyed by her foolishness.

If you are too lazy to plow, don't expect a harvest.

We wish each of you would always be eager to show how strong and lasting your hope really is.

It will make you feel drowsy, and you will end up poor with only rags to wear.

If you want too much and are too lazy to work, it could be fatal.

Work hard, and you will be a leader; be lazy, and you will end up a slave.
