Proverbs 26:14

New Century Version

Like a door turning back and forth on its hinges, the lazy person turns over and over in bed.

See the chapter Copy

Hard workers will become leaders, but those who are lazy will be slaves.

The lazy catch no food to cook, but a hard worker will have great wealth.

You sleep a little; you take a nap. You fold your hands and lie down to rest.

Go watch the ants, you lazy person. Watch what they do and be wise.

We do not want you to become lazy. Be like those who through faith and patience will receive what God has promised.
