Proverbs 26:14

Modern English Version

As a door turns on its hinges, so does a sluggard on his bed.

See the chapter Copy

The hand of the diligent will rule, but the lazy will be put to forced labor.

The lazy man does not roast his game, but diligence is the precious wealth of man.

A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest;

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

so that you may not be lazy, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
