Proverbs 26:14

Revised Version with Apocrypha 1895

As the door turneth upon its hinges, So doth the sluggard upon his bed.

See the chapter Copy

The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: But the slothful shall be put under taskwork.

The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: But the precious substance of men is to the diligent

Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep:

Go to the ant, thou sluggard; Consider her ways, and be wise:

that ye be not sluggish, but imitators of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
