Ecclesiastes 4:5

Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012

Fools will fold their hands and starve to death.

See the chapter Copy

I will be responsible for what happens to me.

Kindness is rewarded— but if you are cruel, you hurt yourself.

Anyone too lazy to cook will starve, but a hard worker is a valuable treasure.

No matter how much you want, laziness won't help a bit, but hard work will reward you with more than enough.

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

How long will you lie there doing nothing at all? When are you going to get up and stop sleeping?

If you talk sensibly, you will have friends; if you talk foolishly, you will destroy yourself.

like wild animals attacking and eating everyone around them, even their own relatives. But still they were not satisfied.
