Delight not thou in sleep, lest thou come to poverty; but open thine eyes, and thou shalt have bread enough.

Slothfulness bringeth sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.

How long wilt thou sleep, thou sluggish man? When wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?

He that tilleth his land, shall have plenteousness of bread; but he that followeth idleness, is a very fool.

Let not that business which ye have in hand be tedious to you. Be fervent in the spirit. Apply yourselves to the time.

An idle hand maketh poor; but a quick laboring hand maketh rich.

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

I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyards of the foolish man.

And the master of the ship came to him and said unto him, "Why slumberest thou? Up! And call unto thy god, that God may think on us, that we perish not."

This also we know, I mean the season: how that it is time that we should now awake out of sleep. For now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.

Awake truly out of sleep, and sin not. For some have not the knowledge of God. I speak this unto your rebuke.

Wherefore he saith, "Awake thou that sleepest, and stand up from death, and Christ shall give thee light."

For when we were with you, this we warned you of, that if there were any which would not work, that the same should not eat.
