Proverbs 21:25

The desire of the sluggard kills him, for his hands refuse to labor.

The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied.

Go to the ant, O sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise.

The hand of the diligent will rule, while the slothful will be put to forced labor.

Whoever is slothful will not roast his game, but the diligent man will get precious wealth.

The way of a sluggard is like a hedge of thorns, but the path of the upright is a level highway.

The sluggard buries his hand in the dish and will not even bring it back to his mouth.

The sluggard does not plow in the autumn; he will seek at harvest and have nothing.

The sluggard says, "There is a lion outside! I shall be killed in the streets!"

I passed by the field of a sluggard, by the vineyard of a man lacking sense,

The sluggard says, "There is a lion in the road! There is a lion in the streets!"

The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes than seven men who can answer sensibly.

But his master answered him, 'You wicked and slothful servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I scattered no seed?
