Thematic Bible: The diligent
Thematic Bible
Diligence » The diligent
Poor is he who works with a negligent and idle hand,
But the hand of the diligent makes him rich.
The soul (appetite) of the lazy person craves and gets nothing [for lethargy overcomes ambition],
But the soul (appetite) of the diligent [who works willingly] is rich and abundantly supplied.
The hand of the diligent will rule,
But the negligent and lazy will be put to forced labor.
The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance and advantage,
But everyone who acts in haste comes surely to poverty.
Do you see a man skillful and experienced in his work?
He will stand [in honor] before kings;
He will not stand before obscure men.
