Proverbs 6:6-11 (NASB) 6 Go to the ant, O sluggard, Observe her ways and be wise, 7 Which, having no chief, Officer or ruler, 8 Prepares her food in the summer And gathers her provision in the harvest. 9 How long will you lie down, O sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep? 10 "A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to rest"— 11 Your poverty will come in like a vagabond And your need like an armed man.
Proverbs 12:24 (TLB) Work hard and become a leader; be lazy and never succeed.
Proverbs 26:13-16 (TLB) 13 The lazy man won’t go out and work. "There might be a lion outside!" he says. 14 He sticks to his bed like a door to its hinges! 15 He is too tired even to lift his food from his dish to his mouth! 16 Yet in his own opinion he is smarter than seven wise men. 2 Thessalonians 3:10 (TLB) 10 Even while we were still there with you, we gave you this rule: "He who does not work shall not eat."
1 Thessalonians 5:14 (NLT) Brothers and sisters, we urge you to warn those who are lazy. Encourage those who are timid. Take tender care of those who are weak. Be patient with everyone.
