Proverbs 26:14

Revised Standard Version (RSV-CI)

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

See the chapter Copy

so that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest,

A slothful man will not catch his prey, but the diligent man will get precious wealth.

The hand of the diligent will rule, while the slothful will be put to forced labor.

Go to the ant, O sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise.
