He becometh poor that worketh with a slack hand; But the hand of the diligent maketh rich.

The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing; But the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.

For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, If any will not work, neither let him eat.

The hand of the diligent shall bear rule; But the slothful shall be put under taskwork. Heaviness in the heart of a man maketh it stoop; But a good word maketh it glad. The righteous is a guide to his neighbor; But the way of the wicked causeth them to err.read more.
The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting; But the precious substance of men is to the diligent.
