As a door is turned in his hinges; so a slow man in his bed.
The hand of strong men shall have lordship; but the hand that is slow, shall serve to tributes.
A guileful man shall not find winning; and the substance of a diligent man shall be the price of gold, that is, preciouser than gold.
How long sleepest thou, slow man? when shalt thou rise from sleep? Soothly thou shalt sleep a little, thou shalt nap a little, thou shalt join together the hands a little, to take rest;
O! thou slow man, go to the ant; and behold thou his ways, and learn thou wisdom.
that ye be not made slow, but also pursuers of them, which by faith and patience shall inherit the promises.
