Proverbs 12:27

A lazy man does not roast his prey,
But the precious possession of a man is diligence.

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

Better is the little of the righteous
Than the abundance of many wicked.

Better is a little with the fear of the Lord
Than great treasure and turmoil with it.

Better is a little with righteousness
Than great income with injustice.

And put a knife to your throat
If you are a man of great appetite.

The sluggard buries his hand in the dish;
He is weary of bringing it to his mouth again.

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious.

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

And put a knife to your throat
If you are a man of great appetite.

The sluggard buries his hand in the dish;
He is weary of bringing it to his mouth again.

The sluggard buries his hand in the dish,
But will not even bring it back to his mouth.

The desire of the sluggard puts him to death,
For his hands refuse to work;

As the door turns on its hinges,
So does the sluggard on his bed.
