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

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

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

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

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

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