That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?

{Yet} a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:

The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute. {slothful: or, deceitful}

The slothful {man} roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man {is} precious.
