Proverbs 6:9

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?

Understand, ye carnal ones among the people, and, ye fools, when will ye be wise?

There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

And this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awaken ourselves out of sleep, for now is our saving health nearer than when we believed.

Therefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest and arise from the dead, and the Christ shall shine upon thee.

For ye know well that the day of the Lord shall come as a thief in the night.

And they gathered it early in the morning, each one according to his eating; and when the sun waxed hot, it melted.

The slothful man hides his hand in his bosom and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.

The desire of the slothful kills him; for his hands refuse to labour.

As the door turns upon his hinges, so does the slothful upon his bed.
