Proverbs 20:13

¹⁵Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep. The idle soul shall suffer hunger.

¹¹not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord,

⁴He becomes poor who works with a lazy hand, but the hand of the diligent brings wealth.

¹¹He who tills his land shall have plenty of bread, but he who chases fantasies is void of understanding.

¹¹Do this, knowing the time, that it is already time for you to awaken out of sleep, for salvation is now nearer to us than when we first believed.

⁹How long will you sleep, sluggard? When will you arise out of your sleep? ¹⁰A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep— ¹¹so your poverty will come as a robber, and your scarcity as an armed man.

¹⁰For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: “If anyone is not willing to work, don’t let him eat.”

⁴The soul of the sluggard desires, and has nothing, but the desire of the diligent shall be fully satisfied.

¹⁴Therefore he says, “Awake, you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”

⁶So the ship master came to him, and said to him, “What do you mean, sleeper? Arise, call on your God!^[+] your God^[+] will notice us, so that we won’t perish.”
