Proverbs 10:4-5

New Living Translation

⁴Lazy people are soon poor;
hard workers get rich.

⁵A wise youth harvests in the summer,
but one who sleeps during harvest is a disgrace.

²⁶As vinegar to the teeth and smoke^(A) to the eyes,
so are sluggards to those who send them.^(B)

²⁶Lazy people irritate their employers,
like vinegar to the teeth or smoke in the eyes.
