Proverbs 26:14

Julia E. Smith Translation 1876

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

See the chapter Copy

The hand of the active shall give dominion: and of the slothful one shall be for tribute.

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

A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to lie down:

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

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