¹³ Love not sleep, lest thou become poor, Open thine eyes -- be satisfied `with' bread.

¹⁵ Sloth causeth deep sleep to fall, And an indolent soul doth hunger.

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

¹¹ Whoso is tilling the ground is satisfied `with' bread, And whoso is pursuing vanities is lacking heart,

⁹ Till when, O slothful one, dost thou lie? When dost thou arise from thy sleep?

¹⁰ A little sleep, a little slumber, A little clasping of the hands to rest,

¹¹ And thy poverty hath come as a traveller, And thy want as an armed man.

¹⁰ for even when we were with you, this we did command you, that if any one is not willing to work, neither let him eat,

¹⁴ wherefore he saith, `Arouse thyself, thou who art sleeping, and arise out of the dead, and the Christ shall shine upon thee.'

³⁴ awake up, as is right, and sin not; for certain have an ignorance of God; for shame to you I say `it'.

¹¹ And this, knowing the time, that for us, the hour already `is' to be aroused out of sleep, for now nearer `is' our salvation than when we did believe;

³⁰ Near the field of a slothful man I passed by, And near the vineyard of a man lacking heart.

³¹ And lo, it hath gone up -- all of it -- thorns! Covered its face have nettles, And its stone wall hath been broken down.

³² And I see -- I -- I do set my heart, I have seen -- I have received instruction,

³³ A little sleep -- a little slumber -- A little folding of the hands to lie down.

³⁴ And thy poverty hath come `as' a traveller, And thy want as an armed man!

⁴ The soul of the slothful is desiring, and hath not. And the soul of the diligent is made fat.

⁴ Poor `is' he who is working -- a slothful hand, And the hand of the diligent maketh rich.

⁶ And the chief of the company draweth near to him, and saith to him, `What -- to thee, O sleeper? rise, call unto thy God, it may be God doth bethink himself of us, and we do not perish.'
