'Sluggard' in the Bible
Go to the ant, thou sluggard; Consider her ways, and be wise:
How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? When wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?
As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, So is the sluggard to them that send him.
The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing; But the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.
The way of the sluggard is as a hedge of thorns; But the path of the upright is made a highway.
The sluggard burieth his hand in the dish, And will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
The sluggard will not plow by reason of the winter; Therefore he shall beg in harvest, and have nothing.
The desire of the sluggard killeth him; For his hands refuse to labor.
The sluggard saith, There is a lion without: I shall be slain in the streets.
I went by the field of the sluggard, And by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;
The sluggard saith, There is a lion in the way; A lion is in the streets.
As the door turneth upon its hinges, So doth the sluggard upon his bed.
The sluggard burieth his hand in the dish; It wearieth him to bring it again to his mouth.
The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit Than seven men that can render a reason.
