Proverbs 20:4

The lazy man will not plow because of the cold. He will beg during harvest and have nothing.

Laziness propels one into a deep sleep. An idle person will suffer hunger.

He becomes poor who deals with a lazy hand. The hand of the diligent makes rich.

A lazy man hides his hand in the dish and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.

A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest.

The lazy man desires and has nothing. The diligent man will be made rich.

Your poverty will come like a robber and your want like an armed man.

The lazy man says: There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.

The foolish took no oil with their lamps.

The servant who received one talent said: 'Lord, I knew you to be a hard man. You reap where you did not sow and gather where you did not scatter.

Yes, for this very reason you do your part with all diligence. Supply virtue to your faith. Add knowledge to your virtue.
