The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.

And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite.

The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth.

Better is little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble therewith.

Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right.

A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.
