Proverbs 20:4

King James Version - American Edition

The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing.

See the chapter Copy

He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.

The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.

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

A slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.

Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out.

The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labor.

so shall thy poverty come as one that traveleth; and thy want as an armed man.

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

He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap.
