Proverbs 6:9

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

Understand, ye brutish 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 awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.

Wherefore he saith, Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ will give thee light.

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

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

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

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

As the door turneth upon its hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.
