He becometh poor that
dealeth with a slack hand: but the
hand of the diligent maketh rich.
He that gathered in summer is a
wise son: but he that sleepeth in
harvest is a son that causeth
shame.
(Proverbs 10:4,5)
The soul of the sluggard
desireth, and hath nothing: but
the soul of the diligent shall be
made fat.
(Proverbs 13:4)
Love not sleep, lest thou
come to poverty; open thine eyes,
and thou shalt be satisfied with
bread.
(Proverbs 20:13)
The thoughts of the
diligent tend only to
plenteousness; but of every one
that is hasty only to want.
(Proverbs 21:5)
I went by the field of the
slothful, and by the vineyard of
the man void of understanding;
And, lo, it was all grown over
with thorns, and nettles had
covered the face thereof, and the
stone wall thereof was broken
down. Then I saw, and considered
it well: I looked upon it, and
received instruction. Yet a little
sleep, a little slumber, a little
folding of the hands to sleep: So
shall thy poverty come as one that
travelleth; and thy want as an
armed man.
(Proverbs 24:30-34)
Be thou diligent to know
the state of thy flocks, and look
well to thy herds ... And thou shalt have
goats' milk enough for thy food,
for the food of thy household, and
for the maintenance for thy
maidens.
(Proverbs 27:23,27)
He that tilleth his land
shall have plenty of bread: but he
that followeth after vain persons
shall have poverty enough.
(Proverbs 28:19)
And that ye study to be
quiet, and to do your own
business, and to work with your
own hands, as we commanded you; That ye may walk honestly
toward them that are without, and
that ye may have lack of nothing.
(1 Thessalonians 4:11,12)

leisure, and a life of laziness,
are two things.

without having sufficiently
examined it, is the effect of

find the guilty, and we do not
wish to trouble ourselves in
examining the crime.

after days of energetic effort,
