Proverbs 12:27

The English Standar Version

Whoever is slothful will not roast his game, but the diligent man will get precious wealth.[3]

See the chapter Copy

The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied.

The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; it wears him out to bring it back to his mouth.

Better is a little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble with it.

Better is the little that the righteous has than the abundance of many wicked.

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

Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues with injustice.

A slack hand causes poverty, but the hand of the diligent makes rich.

One who is righteous is a guide to his neighbor,[2] but the way of the wicked leads them astray.

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