Proverbs 6:9

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

Consider, ye brutish among the people, and ye fools, when will ye be wise?

A man came to be who was sent from God, his name was John.

And this, knowing the time, that the hour is now for us to awake out of sleep. For our salvation is now nearer than when we believed.

Therefore he says, Awake, thou who sleep. And arise from the dead, and the Christ will shine upon thee.

For ye yourselves know accurately that the day of Lord so comes as a thief in the night.

And they gathered it morning by morning, every man according to his eating. And when the sun grew hot, it melted.

The sluggard buries his hand in the dish, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.

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

The door turns upon its hinges, so does the sluggard upon his bed.
