Proverbs 26:14

Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012

A door turns on its hinges, but a lazy person just turns over in bed.

See the chapter Copy

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

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

Sleep a little. Doze a little. Fold your hands and twiddle your thumbs.

You lazy people can learn by watching an anthill.

Then you would never be lazy. You would be following the example of those who had faith and were patient until God kept his promise to them.
