5.0★★★★★
Go to the ant, you slacker! Observe its ways and become wise.
The slacker does not plough during planting season; at harvest time he looks, and there is nothing.
The one who is lazy in his work is brother to a vandal. ,
How long will you stay in bed, you slacker? When will you get up from your sleep?
so that you won’t become lazy but will be imitators of those who inherit the promises through faith and perseverance.
The slacker craves, yet has nothing, but the diligent is fully satisfied.
‘His master replied to him, “You evil, lazy servant! If you knew that I reap where I haven’t sown and gather where I haven’t scattered,
ants are not a strong people, yet they store up their food in the summer;
Do not lack diligence in zeal; be fervent in the Spirit; , serve the Lord.
A slacker’s craving will kill him because his hands refuse to work.
Laziness induces deep sleep, and a lazy person will go hungry.
The slacker says, ‘There’s a lion outside! I’ll be killed in the public square! ’
Like vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes, so the slacker is to the one who sends him on an errand.
The slacker buries his hand in the bowl; he doesn’t even bring it back to his mouth!
Consider the birds of the sky: They don’t sow or reap or gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you worth more than they?
A slacker’s way is like a thorny hedge, but the path of the upright is a raised road.
It is useless to spread a net where any bird can see it,
The ox knows its owner, and the donkey its master’s feeding trough, but Israel does not know; my people do not understand.’
Listen, my son, and be wise; keep your mind on the right course.
Four things on earth are small, yet they are extremely wise:
Even storks in the sky know their seasons. Turtledoves, swallows, and cranes are aware of their migration, but my people do not know the requirements of the Lord.
Idle hands make one poor, but diligent hands bring riches.
