Ecclesiastes 10:18

Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012

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

See the chapter Copy

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

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

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

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

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

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