Proverbs 12:27

The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting; But the precious substance of men is to the diligent.

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

Better is a little that the righteous hath Than the abundance of many wicked.

Better is little, with the fear of Jehovah, Than great treasure and trouble therewith.

Better is a little, with righteousness, Than great revenues with injustice.

And put a knife to thy throat, If thou be a man given to appetite.

The sluggard burieth his hand in the dish; It wearieth him to bring it again to his mouth.

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

And put a knife to thy throat, If thou be a man given to appetite.

The sluggard burieth his hand in the dish; It wearieth him to bring it again to his mouth.

The sluggard burieth his hand in the dish, And will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.

The desire of the sluggard killeth him; For his hands refuse to labor.

As the door turneth upon its hinges, So doth the sluggard upon his bed.
