The labour of the ungodly prospereth not; but he that showeth righteousness, shall receive a sure reward.

The LORD abhoreth deceitful lips; but they that labour for truth please him.

Where no oxen are, there the crib is empty; but where the oxen labour there is much fruit.

In every labour there is some profit; but only vain words bringeth forth penury.

Whoso is slothful and slack in his labor, is the brother of him that is a waster.

The voluptuousness of the slothful is his own death, for his hands will not labour.

Take not over great travail and labour to be rich, beware of such a purpose.

Labour for to get the truth, sell not away wisdom, nurture and understanding;
