A sluggard puts his hand in a dish, and he will not even return it to his mouth.

How long will you rest, O sluggard? When will you arise out of your sleep?

A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest;

Do not love sleep, lest you come to poverty; open your eyes and you shall be satisfied with bread.

for the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty, and slumber shall clothe a man with rags.

A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest;

His watchmen are blind; they are all ignorant; they are all dumb dogs who cannot bark, dreaming, lying down, loving to slumber.

And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.

The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.

Therefore He says: Awake, you who sleep, stand forth out from among the dead, and Christ will shine on you.

He who works with a slack hand becomes poor, but the hand of the diligent makes rich.

He who gathers in summer is a prudent son; he who sleeps in harvest is a son who causes shame.

Do not love sleep, lest you come to poverty; open your eyes and you shall be satisfied with bread.

for the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty, and slumber shall clothe a man with rags.

For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone does not desire to work, neither shall he eat.
