Proverbs 6:9

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

Understand, you senseless among the people: and you fools, when will you 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 awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.

Therefore he says, Awake you that sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give you light.

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

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

A slothful man hides his hand in his dish, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.

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

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