A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to lie down:
And this, knowing the time, that already the hour ye should be awakened out of sleep: for now our salvation nearer than when we believed.
Wherefore he says, Awake, who sleeping, and arise from the dead, and Christ will enlighten thee.
Sloth will cast a deep sleep; and the soul of sloth shall hunger.
Thou shalt not love sleep lest thou shalt be dispossessed: open wide thine eyes, being filled with bread.
And I shall see and set my heart: I looked, I took instruction.
And thy poverty came going about, and thy want as a man of shield.
The foolish one folded his hands together, and ate his flesh.
Also he being slothful in his work, he the brother of the master of destruction.
A door will turn upon its hinge, and the slothful upon his bed.
