Proverbs 6:11

Julia E. Smith Translation 1876

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

See the chapter Copy

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.

Thou shalt not love sleep lest thou shalt be dispossessed: open wide thine eyes, being filled with bread.

The slothful one reproaching will not work: he shall ask in harvest, and nothing.

For the drunkard and the squanderer shall be dispossessed: and slumber shall clothe with rags.

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

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.
