Proverbs 18:9

Julia E. Smith Translation 1876

Also he being slothful in his work, he the brother of the master of destruction.

See the chapter Copy

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

That ye be not sluggish, but imitators of them inheriting the promises by faith and longsnffering.

In study not slothful; boiling in the spirit; serving the Lord;

And his lord having answered, said to him, O evil and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I scattered not:

He stripping his father and his mother, and saying, No transgression; is companion to a man destroying.

I was a brother to jackals, and a companion to the daughters of the ostrich.

The words of the tale-bearer as dainty morsels, and they will go down to the chambers of the belly.

Sloth will cast a deep sleep; and the soul of sloth shall hunger.
