| 6:6 | Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: |
| 6:7 | Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, |
| 6:8 | Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest. |
| 6:9 | How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep? |
| 6:10 | Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: |
| 6:11 | So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man. |
| 10:26 | As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that send him. |
| 12:27 | The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious. |
| 13:4 | The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat. |
| 18:9 | He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster. |
| 19:15 | Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger. |
| 19:24 | A slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again. |
| 20:4 | The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing. |
| 22:13 | The slothful man saith, There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets. |
| 26:13 | The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets. |
| 26:14 | As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed. |
| 26:15 | The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth. |
| 26:16 | The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason. |
