'Diligent' in the Bible

Only be very careful and diligently observe the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of the Lord has commanded you to love the Lord your God and walk in all His ways and keep His commandments and hold fast to Him and serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul [your very life].”

Poor is he who works with a negligent and idle hand,But the hand of the diligent makes him rich.

The hand of the diligent will rule,But the negligent and lazy will be put to forced labor.

The lazy man does not catch and roast his prey,But the precious possession of a [wise] man is diligence [because he recognizes opportunities and seizes them].

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 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.

Be diligent to know the condition of your flocks,And pay attention to your herds;

For while you are going with your opponent [at law] to appear before a magistrate, on the way make an effort to settle, so that he does not drag you before the judge, and the judge does not [rule against you and] turn you over to the officer, and the officer does not throw you into prison.
