Proverbs 26:14

Holy Bible: Easy-to-Read Version

Like a door on its hinges, a lazy man turns back and forth on his bed.

See the chapter Copy

We don’t want you to be lazy. We want you to be like those who, because of their faith and patience, will get what God has promised.

a little sleep, a little rest, folding your arms, and taking a nap—

Lazy people don’t get what they want, but riches come to those who work hard.

Those who work hard will be put in charge of others, but lazy people will have to work like slaves.

You lazy people, you should watch what the ants do and learn from them.
