Proverbs 21:25

What the sluggard desires will kill him, for his hands refuse to work.

The appetite of the sluggard craves but gets nothing, but the desire of the diligent will be abundantly satisfied.

Go to the ant, you sluggard; observe its ways and be wise!

The diligent person will rule, but the slothful will become a slave.

The lazy person does not roast his prey, but personal possessions are precious to the diligent.

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

The sluggard plunges his hand in the dish, and he will not even bring it back to his mouth!

The sluggard will not plow during the planting season, so at harvest time he looks for the crop but has nothing.

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

I passed by the field of a sluggard, by the vineyard of one who lacks wisdom.

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

The sluggard is wiser in his own estimation than seven people who respond with good sense.

But his master answered, 'Evil and lazy slave! So you knew that I harvest where I didn't sow and gather where I didn't scatter?
