And behold, it was completely overgrown with thistles;
Its surface was covered with nettles,
And its stone wall was broken down.

Then to Adam He said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat from it’;
Cursed is the ground because of you;
In toil you will eat of it
All the days of your life.

Let briars grow instead of wheat,
And stinkweed instead of barley.”
The words of Job are ended.

The fear of the Lord leads to life,
So that one may sleep satisfied, untouched by evil.

The sluggard does not plow after the autumn,
So he begs during the harvest and has nothing.

The sluggard says, “There is a lion outside;
I will be killed in the streets!”

For the heavy drinker and the glutton will come to poverty,
And drowsiness will clothe one with rags.

Through indolence the rafters sag, and through slackness the house leaks.

“So now let Me tell you what I am going to do to My vineyard:
I will remove its hedge and it will be consumed;
I will break down its wall and it will become trampled ground.

For thus says the Lord to the men of Judah and to Jerusalem,
Break up your fallow ground,
And do not sow among thorns.

Others fell among the thorns, and the thorns came up and choked them out.

And the one on whom seed was sown among the thorns, this is the man who hears the word, and the worry of the world and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

but if it yields thorns and thistles, it is worthless and close to being cursed, and it ends up being burned.

The fear of the Lord leads to life,
So that one may sleep satisfied, untouched by evil.
The sluggard does not plow after the autumn,
So he begs during the harvest and has nothing.

General references

The sluggard buries his hand in the dish,
But will not even bring it back to his mouth.
The desire of the sluggard puts him to death,
For his hands refuse to work;
Through indolence the rafters sag, and through slackness the house leaks.
