Proverbs 6:9

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

Give your mind to my words, you who are without wisdom among the people; you foolish men, when will you be wise?

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

See then that the time has come for you to be awake from sleep: for now is your salvation nearer than when you first had faith.

For this reason he says, Be awake, you who are sleeping, and come up from among the dead, and Christ will be your light.

For you yourselves have the knowledge that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

And they took it up morning by morning, every man as he had need: and when the sun was high it was gone.

The hater of work puts his hand deep into the basin, and will not even take it to his mouth again.

The desire of the hater of work is death to him, for his hands will do no work.

A door is turned on its pillar, and the hater of work on his bed.
