Through slothfulness the balks fall down, and through idle hands it raineth in at the house.

A wise woman upholdeth her house; but a foolish wife plucketh it down.

A slothful body will not go to plow, for cold of the winter; therefore shall he go a begging in Summer and have nothing.

A diligent hand shall bear rule; but the idle shall be under tribute.

The voluptuousness of the slothful is his own death, for his hands will not labour.

for such as be drunkards and riotous shall come to poverty, and he that is given to much sleep, shall go with a ragged coat.

I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyards of the foolish man.

Yea, and we desire that every one of you show the same diligence, to the establishing of hope, even unto the end:

And hereunto, give all diligence: In your faith, minister virtue; and in virtue, knowledge;

Summary

By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through.
