Proverbs 6:6–11

6  jGo to the kant, O sluggard;

consider her ways, and be wise.

7  lWithout having any chief,

officer, or ruler,

8  she prepares her bread min summer

and gathers her food in harvest.

9  How long will you lie there, O sluggard?

When will you arise from your sleep?

10  nA little sleep, a little slumber,

a little ofolding of the hands to rest,

11  and ppoverty will come upon you like a robber,

and want like an armed man.


Proverbs 20:4

4  kThe sluggard does not plow in the autumn;

he will seek at harvest and have nothing.


Matthew 25:26

26 But his master answered him, ‘You wicked and nslothful servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I scattered no seed?
