Proverbs 12:27

Tree of Life Version

A lazy person does not roast his game, but a diligent person prizes his possessions.

See the chapter Copy

The slacker’s soul craves, yet has nothing, but the diligent soul will be satisfied.

The slacker plunges his hand in the dish— he is too tired to bring it back to his mouth.

Better is little with the fear of Adonai than great wealth with turmoil.

Better a little that the righteous have than the wealth of many wicked.

and put a knife to your throat if you possess a large appetite.

Better a little with righteousness than much income without justice.

Lazy hands make a man poor, but diligent hands bring wealth.

The righteous gives his friend guidance, but the way of the wicked leads astray.

As a door turns on its hinges so a slacker turns on his bed.
