Proverbs 10:26

As vinegar to the teeth and as smoke to the eyes, so is the slothful one to those sending him.

As the cold of snow in the day of harvest a faithful messenger to those sending him: he shall restore the soul of his lord.

He removing a covering in the day of cold, and vinegar upon nitre, and he singing in songs to an evil heart.

He drank violence, cutting off the feet, sending words by the hand of the foolish one.

Saying, Come near to thyself; thou shalt not touch upon me, for I was clean to thee. These a smoke in my wrath, a fire burning all the day.

And his lord having answered, said to him, O evil and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I scattered not:

In study not slothful; boiling in the spirit; serving the Lord;

That ye be not sluggish, but imitators of them inheriting the promises by faith and longsnffering.
