Proverbs 24:33

Modern King James Version

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

See the chapter Copy

Also he who is slack in his work is brother to a great destroyer.

Laziness throws one into a deep sleep, and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.

Do not love sleep, lest you come to poverty; open your eyes and you shall be satisfied with bread.

Then I saw; I set my heart on it; I looked and I received instruction.

then your poverty comes stalking, and your want like a man armed with a shield.

As the door turns upon its hinges, so does the lazy man turn upon his bed.

The fool folds his hands together, and eats his own flesh.

This also, knowing the time, that it is already time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we believed.

Therefore he says, "Awake, sleeping ones! And arise from the dead, and Christ shall give you light."
