27 The lazy man does not roast what he took in hunting,But diligence is man’s precious possession.
4 (A)The soul of a lazy man desires, and has nothing;But the soul of the diligent shall be made rich.
15 The (A)lazy man buries his hand in the [a]bowl;It wearies him to bring it back to his mouth.
16 (A)Better is a little with the fear of the Lord,Than great treasure with trouble.
16 (A)A little that a righteous man hasIs better than the riches of many wicked.
2 And put a knife to your throatIf you are a man given to appetite.
8 (A)Better is a little with righteousness,Than vast revenues without justice.
