As the door turns on its hinge, so the lazy one on his bed.
The hand of the diligent ones shall rule, but one of laziness will become forced labor.
The one of laziness does not start after his prey, but the wealth of a diligent man is precious.
A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to lie down,
Go to the ant, lazy man; see her ways and be wise;
that you not become dull, but imitators of the ones who through faith and long-suffering are inheriting the promises.
