8 Bible Verses about The Love Of Sleep

Do not love [excessive] sleep, or you will become poor;
Open your eyes [so that you can do your work] and you will be satisfied with bread.

never lagging behind in diligence; aglow in the Spirit, enthusiastically serving the Lord;

Give no [unnecessary] sleep to your eyes,
Nor slumber to your eyelids;

How long will you lie down, O lazy one?
When will you arise from your sleep [and learn self-discipline]?

“Yet a little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to lie down and rest”—

He who gathers during summer and takes advantage of his opportunities is a son who acts wisely,
But he who sleeps during harvest and ignores the moment of opportunity is a son who acts shamefully.

Laziness casts one into a deep sleep [unmindful of lost opportunity],
And the idle person will suffer hunger.

For the heavy drinker and the glutton will come to poverty,
And the drowsiness [of overindulgence] will clothe one with rags.
