Proverbs 6:9

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

Consider, you senseless among the people; you fools, when will you be wise?

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

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

Therefore he says, "Awake, you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you."

For you yourselves know well that the day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night.

They gathered it morning by morning, everyone according to his eating. When the sun grew hot, it melted.

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

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

As the door turns on its hinges, so does the sluggard on his bed.
