  • Proverbs 18:9
    He who is slothful in his work
    Is a brother to him who is a great destroyer.

     
  • Proverbs 24:30-34
    I went by the field of the lazy man,
    And by the vineyard of the man devoid of understanding;
    And there it was, all overgrown with thorns;
    Its surface was covered with nettles;
    Its stone wall was broken down.
    When I saw it, I considered it well;
    I looked on it and received instruction:
    A little sleep, a little slumber,
    A little folding of the hands to rest;
    So shall your poverty come like a prowler,
    And your need like an armed man.
     
  • Hebrews 6:12
    that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
     
  • Proverbs 6:9-10
    How long will you slumber, O sluggard?
    When will you rise from your sleep?
    A little sleep, a little slumber,
    A little folding of the hands to sleep—

     
  • Proverbs 12:24
    The hand of the diligent will rule,
    But the lazy man will be put to forced labor.

     
  • Proverbs 12:27
    The lazy man does not roast what he took in hunting,
    But diligence is man’s precious possession.

     
  • Proverbs 15:19
    The way of the lazy man is like a hedge of thorns,
    But the way of the upright is a highway.

     
  • Proverbs 20:4
    The lazy man will not plow because of winter;
    He will beg during harvest and have nothing.

     
  • Proverbs 21:25-26
    The desire of the lazy man kills him,
    For his hands refuse to labor.
    He covets greedily all day long,
    But the righteous gives and does not spare.

     
  • Proverbs 26:16
    The lazy man is wiser in his own eyes
    Than seven men who can answer sensibly.

     
  • Matthew 25:24-30
    "Then he who had received the one talent came and said, "Lord, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered seed. And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground. Look, there you have what is yours." "But his lord answered and said to him, "You wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed. So you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I would have received back my own with interest. So take the talent from him, and give it to him who has ten talents. "For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away. And cast the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
     
  • Galatians 6:7
    Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
