As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.
The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.
The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious.
Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:
that ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
