Laziness

Proverbs 6:6-11 “Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. How long will you lie there, you sluggard? When will you get up from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest— and poverty will come on you like a thief and scarcity like an armed man.

Laziness

Proverbs 20:4 - Sluggards do not plow in season;    so at harvest time they look but find nothing.

Proverbs 22:13 - The sluggard says, “There’s a lion outside! I’ll be killed in the public square!”

Proverbs 26:14 - As a door turns on its hinges,    so a sluggard turns on his bed.
