H5927And, lo, it was all grown over[H8804] H7063with thornsH2738, and nettlesH3680had covered[H8795] H6440the faceH68thereof, and the stoneH1444wallH2040thereof was broken down[H8738] .
H6103By much slothfulnessH4746the buildingH4355decayeth[H8735] H8220; and through idlenessH3027of the handsH1004the houseH1811droppeth through[H8799] .
H559For thus saith[H8804] H3068the LORDH376to the menH3063of JudahH3389and JerusalemH5214, Break up[H8798] H5215your fallow groundH2232, and sow[H8799] H6975not among thorns.
H3045And now go to; I will tell[H8686] H6213you what I will do[H8802] H3754to my vineyardH5493: I will take away[H8687] H4881the hedgeH1197thereof, and it shall be eaten up[H8763] H6555; and break down[H8800] H1447the wallH4823thereof, and it shall be trodden down:
G1161ButG1627that which beareth[G5723] G173thornsG2532andG5146briersG96is rejectedG2532, andG1451is nighG2671unto cursingG3739; whoseG5056endG1519is toG2740be burned.
G1161He alsoG4687that received seed[G5651] G1519amongG173the thornsG2076is[G5748] G3778he thatG191heareth[G5723] G3056the wordG2532; andG3308the careG5127of thisG165worldG2532, andG539the deceitfulnessG4149of richesG4846, choke[G5719] G3056the wordG2532, andG1096he becometh[G5736] G175unfruitful.
G1161AndG243someG4098fell[G5627] G1909amongG173thornsG2532; andG173the thornsG305sprung up[G5627] G2532, andG638choked[G5656] G846them:
H5433For the drunkard[H8802] H2151and the glutton[H8802] H3423shall come to poverty[H8735] H5124: and drowsinessH3847shall clothe[H8686] H7168a man with rags.
H6102The slothfulH559man saith[H8804] H738, There is a lionH2351withoutH7523, I shall be slain[H8735] H8432inH7339the streets.
H6102The sluggardH2790will not plow[H8799] H2779by reason of the coldH7592; therefore shall he beg[H8804] [H8675] H7592 [H8799] H7105in harvest, and have nothing.
H3374The fearH3068of the LORDH2416tendeth to lifeH3885: and he that hath it shall abide[H8799] H7649satisfiedH6485; he shall not be visited[H8735] H7451with evil.
H2336Let thistlesH3318grow[H8799] H2406instead of wheatH890, and cockleH8184instead of barleyH1697. The wordsH347of JobH8552are ended[H8804] .
H7880Among the bushesH5101they brayed[H8799] H2738; under the nettlesH5596they were gathered together[H8792] .
H2372Then I saw[H8799] H7896, and considered it well[H8799] H3820 H7200: I looked[H8804] H3947upon it, and received[H8804] H4148instruction.
H5315The soulH6102of the sluggardH183desireth[H8693] H5315, and hath nothing: but the soulH2742of the diligentH1878shall be made fat[H8792] .
H7896And I will lay[H8799] H1326it wasteH2168: it shall not be pruned[H8735] H5737, nor digged[H8735] H5927; but there shall come up[H8804] H8068briersH7898and thornsH6680: I will also command[H8762] H5645the cloudsH4305that they rain[H8687] H4306no rain upon it.
