Proverbs 12:27

Julia E. Smith Translation 1876

The slothful one shall not ensnare his hunting: and the substance of the active man is precious.

See the chapter Copy

The soul of the slothful one desiring, and nothing: and the soul of the active shall be made fat

The slothful one hid his hand in the dish; he was weary to turn it back to his mouth.

Good is little with the fear of Jehovah more than much treasure and confusion with it

A little to the just one is good more than the wealth of many unjust.

And put a knife to thy swallow if thou the possessor of a soul.

Good a little with justice above abundance of increase with no judgment

A slothful hand makes poverty, and the hand of the active will make rich.

The just excelled above his neighbor: and the way of the unjust shall lead them astray.

A door will turn upon its hinge, and the slothful upon his bed.
