Becometh

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

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

The hand of the diligent shall bear rule; But the slothful shall be put under taskwork.

Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; And the idle soul shall suffer hunger.

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

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

By slothfulness the roof sinketh in; and through idleness of the hands the house leaketh.

Work not for the food which perisheth, but for the food which abideth unto eternal life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him the Father, even God, hath sealed.

And we desire that each one of you may show the same diligence unto the fulness of hope even to the end:

Yea, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply virtue; and in your virtue knowledge;

But

The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing; But the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.

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

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not vain in the Lord.
