Becometh

Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways and be wise:

There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is right, but it tendeth only to want.

The hand of the diligent shall bear rule; but the slothful hand shall be under tribute.

Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep, and the idle soul shall suffer hunger.

The sluggard will not plough by reason of the winter; he shall beg in harvest, and have nothing.

I went by the field of a sluggard, and by the vineyard of a man void of understanding;

By much sloth fulness the framework falleth in; and through idleness of the hands the house drippeth.

Work not for the food which perishes, but for the food which abides unto life eternal, which the Son of man shall give to you; for him has the Father sealed, even God.

But we desire earnestly that each one of you shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end;

But for this very reason also, using therewith all diligence, in your faith have also virtue, in virtue knowledge,

But

A sluggard's soul desireth and hath nothing; but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.

The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty, only to want.

So then, my beloved brethren, be firm, immovable, abounding always in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord.
