Proverbs 12:27

He who is slow in his work does not go in search of food; but the ready worker gets much wealth.

The hater of work does not get his desires, but the soul of the hard workers will be made fat.

The little which the good man has is better than the wealth of evil-doers.

Better is a little with the fear of the Lord, than great wealth together with trouble.

Better is a little with righteousness, than great wealth with wrongdoing.

And put a knife to your throat, if you have a strong desire for food.

The hater of work puts his hand deep into the basin: lifting it again to his mouth is a weariness to him.

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

The hater of work does not get his desires, but the soul of the hard workers will be made fat.

And put a knife to your throat, if you have a strong desire for food.

The hater of work puts his hand deep into the basin: lifting it again to his mouth is a weariness to him.

The hater of work puts his hand deep into the basin, and will not even take it to his mouth again.

The desire of the hater of work is death to him, for his hands will do no work.

A door is turned on its pillar, and the hater of work on his bed.
