'Diligent' in the Bible

The diligent person will rule, but the slothful will become a slave.

The lazy person does not roast his prey, but personal possessions are precious to the diligent.

The appetite of the sluggard craves but gets nothing, but the desire of the diligent will be abundantly satisfied.

The one who spares his rod hates his child, but the one who loves his child is diligent in disciplining him.

The plans of the diligent lead only to plenty, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty.
