¹³ Don't love sleep, lest you come to poverty; Open your eyes, and you shall be satisfied with bread.

¹⁵ Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep. The idle soul shall suffer hunger.

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

¹¹ He who tills his land shall have plenty of bread, But he who chases fantasies is void of understanding.

⁹ How long will you sleep, sluggard? When will you arise out of your sleep?

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

¹¹ So your poverty will come as a robber, And your scarcity as an armed man.

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

¹⁴ Therefore he says, "Awake, you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you."

³⁴ Wake up righteously, and don't sin, for some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.

¹¹ Do this, knowing the time, that it is already time for you to awaken out of sleep, for salvation is now nearer to us than when we first believed.

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

³¹ Behold, it was all grown over with thorns. Its surface was covered with nettles, And its stone wall was broken down.

³² Then I saw, and considered well. I saw, and received instruction:

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

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

⁴ The soul of the sluggard desires, and has nothing, But the desire of the diligent shall be fully satisfied.

⁴ He becomes poor who works with a lazy hand, But the hand of the diligent brings wealth.

⁶ So the shipmaster came to him, and said to him, "What do you mean, sleeper? Arise, call on your gods! Maybe the gods will notice us, so that we won't perish."
