The door turneth round on its hinge, And the slothful on his bed.
The hand of the diligent ruleth, And slothfulness becometh tributary.
The slothful roasteth not his hunting, And the wealth of a diligent man is precious.
A little sleep -- a little slumber -- A little folding of the hands to lie down.
Go unto the ant, O slothful one, See her ways and be wise;
that ye may not become slothful, but followers of those who through faith and patient endurance are inheriting the promises.
