Proverbs 24:33

King James 2000

Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:

See the chapter Copy

He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster.

Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.

Love not sleep, lest you come to poverty; open your eyes, and you shall be satisfied with bread.

Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction.

So shall your poverty come like a robber; and your want like an armed man.

As the door turns upon its hinges, so does the slothful upon his bed.

The fool folds his hands together, and eats his own flesh.

And this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.

Therefore he says, Awake you that sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give you light.
