How long is the lazy man going to lie around? When is he ever going to get up?

But while he sleeps, poverty will attack him like an armed robber.

Being lazy will make you poor, but hard work will make you rich.

A hard-working farmer has plenty to eat, but it is stupid to waste time on useless projects.

No matter how much a lazy person may want something, he will never get it. A hard worker will get everything he wants.

Go ahead and be lazy; sleep on, but you will go hungry.

I walked through the fields and vineyards of a lazy, stupid person.

I looked at this, thought about it, and learned a lesson from it:

but while you are asleep, poverty will attack you like an armed robber.

Work hard and do not be lazy. Serve the Lord with a heart full of devotion.

While we were with you, we used to tell you, "Whoever refuses to work is not allowed to eat."

The captain found him there and said to him, "What are you doing asleep? Get up and pray to your god for help. Maybe he will feel sorry for us and spare our lives."

You must do this, because you know that the time has come for you to wake up from your sleep. For the moment when we will be saved is closer now than it was when we first believed.

Come back to your right senses and stop your sinful ways. I declare to your shame that some of you do not know God.

for anything that is clearly revealed becomes light. That is why it is said, "Wake up, sleeper, and rise from death, and Christ will shine on you."
