A lazymandoes not roasthis prey,But the preciouspossessionof a man[is] diligence.
Betteris the littleof the righteousThanthe abundanceof manywicked.
Pooris he who workswith a negligenthand,But the handof the diligentmakesrich.
The righteousis a guideto his neighbor,But the wayof the wickedleadsthem astray.

[As] the doorturnson its hinges,So [does] the sluggardon his bed.
The sluggardburieshis handin the dish;He is wearyof bringingit to his mouthagain.
