Proverbs 26:13-16
13 aThe sluggard says, “There is a lion in the road!There is a lion in the streets!”
14As a door turns on its hinges,
so does a sluggard on his bed.
15 bThe sluggard buries his hand in the dish;
it wears him out to bring it back to his mouth.
16The sluggard is cwiser in his own eyes
dthan seven men who can answer sensibly.
Matthew 25:24
24He also who had received the one talent came forward, saying, ‘Master, I knew you to be ea hard man, reaping fwhere you did not sow, and gathering where you scattered no seed,Luke 3:9
9Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. gEvery tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.”Luke 6:46
