Proverbs 26:14

King James 2000

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

See the chapter Copy

The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be put to forced labor.

The slothful man roasts not that which he took in hunting: but the possessions of a diligent man are precious.

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

Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:

That you be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
