Proverbs 6:11

King James Version (Oxford) 1769

So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, And thy want as an armed man.

See the chapter Copy

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

So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; And thy want as an armed man.

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

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

For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: And drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.

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

Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; Open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.

Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep:

The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh.
