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?

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

And this, knowing the season, that already it is time for you to awake out of sleep: for now is salvation nearer to us than when we first believed.

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

For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

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

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

The desire of the sluggard killeth him; For his hands refuse to labor.

As the door turneth upon its hinges, So doth the sluggard upon his bed.
