Laziness

“The slacker craves yet has nothing, but the soul of the diligent is fully satisfied.”

“Walk in the manner of the ant, O slacker; observe its ways and become wise.”

“Whatever you do, work at it with your whole being, for the Lord and not for men,”

“For even while we were with you, we gave you this command: “If anyone is unwilling to work, he shall not eat.””

“The hand of the diligent will rule, but laziness ends in forced labor.”

“Laziness brings on deep sleep, and an idle soul will suffer hunger.”

“Through laziness the roof caves in, and in the hands of the idle, the house leaks.”

“But require of them the same quota of bricks as before; do not reduce it. For they are lazy; that is why they are crying out, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to our God.’”
