Becometh

Go to the ant, O sluggard,
Observe her ways and be wise,

There is one who scatters, and yet increases all the more,
And there is one who withholds what is justly due, and yet it results only in want.

The hand of the diligent will rule,
But the slack hand will be put to forced labor.

Laziness casts into a deep sleep,

And an idle man will suffer hunger.

The sluggard does not plow after the autumn,
So he begs during the harvest and has nothing.

I passed by the field of the sluggard
And by the vineyard of the man lacking sense,

Through indolence the rafters sag, and through slackness the house leaks.

Do not work for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you, for on Him the Father, God, has set His seal.”

And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence so as to realize the full assurance of hope until the end,

But

The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing,
But the soul of the diligent is made fat.

But everyone who is hasty comes surely to poverty.
