Proverbs 21:25

The desire of the lazy killed him for his hands refuse to work.

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

Go to the ant, you lazy person. Consider her ways and be wise!

The hand of the diligent will bear rule. The lazy will be under forced labor.

The lazy man does not cook what he took in hunting. The substance of a diligent man is precious.

The way of the lazy is as a hedge of thorns. But the way of the righteous is a wide path.

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

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

The lazy man says: There is a lion outside. I will be killed in the streets.

I went by the field of the lazy man, and by the vineyard of the man lacking understanding.

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

The lazy man is wiser in his own conceit than seven men who can answer with good sense.

But his lord answered: 'You wicked and lazy servant. You knew that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter.
