Ecclesiastes 10:18

By slothfulness is the wall brought low, And by idleness of the hands doth the house drop.

Every wise woman hath builded her house, And the foolish with her hands breaketh it down.

Because of winter the slothful plougheth not, He asketh in harvest, and there is nothing.

The hand of the diligent ruleth, And slothfulness becometh tributary.

The desire of the slothful slayeth him, For his hands have refused to work.

For the quaffer and glutton become poor, And drowsiness clotheth with rags.

Near the field of a slothful man I passed by, And near the vineyard of a man lacking heart.

and we desire each one of you the same diligence to shew, unto the full assurance of the hope unto the end,

And this same also -- all diligence having brought in besides, superadd in your faith the worthiness, and in the worthiness the knowledge,

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