Thematic Bible: Who desires
Thematic Bible
Desires » Who desires
The lazy man does not plow when the winter [planting] season arrives;
So he begs at the [next] harvest and has nothing [to reap].
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.
Laziness casts one into a deep sleep [unmindful of lost opportunity],
And the idle person will suffer hunger.
