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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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