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.

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.
