[As] the doorturnson its hinges,So [does] the sluggardon his bed.
The handof the diligentwill rule,But the slack[hand] will be put to forcedlabor.
A lazymandoes not roasthis prey,But the preciouspossessionof a man[is] diligence.
"A littlesleep,a littleslumber,A littlefoldingof the handsto rest,"
Goto the ant,O sluggard,Observeher waysand be wise,
sothat you will not be sluggish,but imitatorsof thosewho throughfaithand patienceinheritthe promises.
