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 25:26

26But his master answered him, ‘You ewicked and fslothful servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I scattered no seed?

Romans 12:11

11Do not be slothful in zeal, gbe fervent in spirit,
Or  fervent in the Spirit
iserve the Lord.

Hebrews 6:12

12so that you may not be sluggish, but jimitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
