Proverbs 12:27

A deceitful man shall find no vantage; but he that is content with that he hath, is more worth than gold.

The sluggard would fain have, and cannot get his desire; but the soul of the diligent shall have plenty.

A small thing that the righteous hath, is better than the great riches of the ungodly.

Better is a little, with the fear of the LORD, than great treasure; for they are not without sorrow.

Better it is to have a little thing with righteousness, than great rents wrongfully gotten.

Measure thine appetite:

The slothful body thrusteth his hand into his bosom, and it grieveth him to put 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 sluggard would fain have, and cannot get his desire; but the soul of the diligent shall have plenty.

Measure thine appetite:

The slothful body thrusteth his hand into his bosom, and it grieveth him to put it again to his mouth.

A slothful body shutteth his hand into his bosom; so that he cannot put it to his mouth.

The voluptuousness of the slothful is his own death, for his hands will not labour.

Like as the door turneth about upon the threshold, even so doth the slothful welter himself in his bed.
