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

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

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

The slothful one hiding his hand in the dish, also he will not turn it back to his mouth.

Deep waters are counsel in the heart of man; and a man of understanding will draw it out

The desire of the slothful shall kill him, for his hands refused to work,

And thy poverty came going about, and thy want as a man of shield.

Go to the ant, thou slothful one; see her ways, and be wise:

He watching the wind shall not sow; and he looking in the clouds, shall not reap.
