You sleep a little; you take a nap. You fold your hands and lie down to rest.
A person who doesn’t work hard is just like someone who destroys things.
Lazy people sleep a lot, and idle people will go hungry.
If you love to sleep, you will be poor. If you stay awake, you will have plenty of food.
I thought about what I had seen; I learned this lesson from what I saw.
Soon you will be as poor as if you had been robbed; you will have as little as if you had been held up.
Like a door turning back and forth on its hinges, the lazy person turns over and over in bed.
Some say it is foolish to fold your hands and do nothing, because you will starve to death.
Do this because we live in an important time. It is now time for you to wake up from your sleep, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.
and everything that is made easy to see can become light. This is why it is said: “Wake up, sleeper! Rise from death, and Christ will shine on you.”
