Pr.18:9 He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster.

            Isa.54:16 Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.

Pr. 20:4 The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he

beg in harvest, and have nothing.   (plowing, sowing, and reaping are very time sensitive.  If the work isn’t accomplished before the deadline – there isn’t any adequate excuse! )

20:13 Love not sleep (do not love sleep), lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.

21:25 The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labor.

21:26 He coveteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous giveth and

spareth not.

22:13 The slothful man saith, There is a lion without, I shall be slain in

the streets.

24:30 I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man

void of understanding;

24:31 And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered

the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.

24:32 Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received

instruction.

24:33 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to

sleep:

24:34 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an

armed man.

26:13 The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the

streets.

26:14 As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his

bed.

26:15 The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring

it again to his mouth.

26:16 The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can

render a reason.
