¹³ Love not sleep, let thou come to poverty; Open thine eyes, `and' thou shalt be satisfied with bread.

¹⁵ Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; And the idle soul shall suffer hunger.

¹¹ in diligence not slothful; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;

¹¹ He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread; But he that followeth after vain `persons' is void of understanding.

⁹ How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? When wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?

¹⁰ `Yet' a little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep:

¹¹ So shall thy poverty come as a robber, And thy want as an armed man.

¹⁰ For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, If any will not work, neither let him eat.

¹⁴ Wherefore `he' saith, Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall shine upon thee.

³⁴ Awake to soberness righteously, and sin not; for some have no knowledge of God: I speak `this' to move you to shame.

¹¹ And this, knowing the season, that already it is time for you to awake out of sleep: for now is salvation nearer to us than when we `first' believed.

³⁰ I went by the field of the sluggard, And by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;

³¹ And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, The face thereof was covered with nettles, And the stone wall thereof was broken down.

³² Then I beheld, and considered well; I saw, and received instruction:

³³ `Yet' a little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep;

³⁴ So shall thy poverty come as a robber, And thy want as an armed man.

⁴ The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing; But the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.

⁴ He becometh poor that worketh with a slack hand; But the hand of the diligent maketh rich.

⁶ So the shipmaster came to him, and said unto him, What meanest thou, O sleeper? arise, call upon thy God, if so be that God will think upon us, that we perish not.
