Ecclesiastes 10:18

The Message

A shiftless man lives in a tumbledown shack; A lazy woman ends up with a leaky roof.

See the chapter Copy

The diligent find freedom in their work; the lazy are oppressed by work.

Lady Wisdom builds a lovely home; Sir Fool comes along and tears it down brick by brick.

A farmer too lazy to plant in the spring has nothing to harvest in the fall.

Lazy people finally die of hunger because they won’t get up and go to work.
