Proverbs 24:33

English Standard Version 2016

A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest,

See the chapter Copy

Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed.

for anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says, “Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”

Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep, and an idle person will suffer hunger.

Love not sleep, lest you come to poverty; open your eyes, and you will have plenty of bread.

Then I saw and considered it; I looked and received instruction.

and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and want like an armed man.

The fool folds his hands and eats his own flesh.

Whoever is slack in his work is a brother to him who destroys.

As a door turns on its hinges, so does a sluggard on his bed.
