Proverbs 20:4

King James 3 - The Literal Traslation

The lazy one will not plow, after autumn he begs at harvest, and nothing is there.

See the chapter Copy

He who works with a lazy palm will be lacking, but the hand of the diligent one makes to become rich.

Laziness makes one fall into a deep sleep, and an idle soul shall be hungry.

A sluggish one’s soul is craving, but having nothing, but the soul of the diligent ones shall be made fat.

and your poverty comes walking about, and your lack like a man with a shield.

A lazy one hides his hand in a dish, and he will not return it to his mouth.

Go to the ant, lazy man; see her ways and be wise;

Counsel in a man’s heart is like deep water, and a man of understanding will draw it out.

The lust of the lazy man kills him, for his hands have refused to work.

He who watches the wind shall not sow, and he who looks at the clouds shall not reap.
