Proverbs 24:30-34
30 gI passed by the field of a sluggard,by the vineyard of a man hlacking sense,
31and behold, it was all overgrown with thorns;
the ground was covered with nettles,
and its stone iwall was broken down.
32Then I saw and jconsidered it;
I looked and received instruction.
33 kA little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest,
34and poverty will come upon you like a robber,
and want like an armed man.
Matthew 25:26

pserve the Lord. Hebrews 6:12
12so that you may not be sluggish, but qimitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
