Proverbs 12:27

New International Version

The lazy do not roast any game, but the diligent feed on the riches of the hunt.

See the chapter Copy

Better the little that the righteous have than the wealth of many wicked;

Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth.

The righteous choose their friends carefully, but the way of the wicked leads them astray.

A sluggard’s appetite is never filled, but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied.

Better a little with the fear of the Lord than great wealth with turmoil.

Better a little with righteousness than much gain with injustice.

and put a knife to your throat if you are given to gluttony.

As a door turns on its hinges, so a sluggard turns on his bed.

A sluggard buries his hand in the dish; he is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth.
