Work Ethic
6 Go to the ant, O sluggard;
consider her ways, and be wise.
7 Without having any chief,
officer, or ruler,
8 she prepares her bread in summer
and gathers her food in harvest.
9 How long will you lie there, O sluggard?
When will you arise from your sleep?
10 A little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest,
11 and poverty will come upon you like a robber,
and want like an armed man.
4 The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing,
while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied.
23 In all toil there is profit,
but mere talk tends only to poverty.
30 I passed by the field of a sluggard,
by the vineyard of a man lacking sense,
31 and behold, it was all overgrown with thorns;
the ground was covered with nettles,
and its stone wall was broken down.
32 Then I saw and considered it;
I looked and received instruction.
33 A little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest,
34 and poverty will come upon you like a robber,
and want like an armed man.

Necessary for having things
Is actual, and not dreaming

Attitude
2 When pride comes, then comes disgrace,
but with the humble is wisdom.
18 Pride goes before destruction,
and a haughty spirit before a fall.
2 Let another praise you, and not your own mouth;
a stranger, and not your own lips.
Pride Definition: a sense of self importance or self exaltation
Pride is unwise and lead to disgrace
Pride leads to destruction
Pride must be avoided in speech
Speech
19 When words are many, transgression is not lacking,
but whoever restrains his lips is prudent.
18 There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts,
but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue,
and those who love it will eat its fruits.
Truth
22 Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord,
but those who act faithfully are his delight.
5 A false witness will not go unpunished,
and he who breathes out lies will not escape.
Emotions / Desire Control
32 Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty,
and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.
11 A fool gives full vent to his spirit,
but a wise man quietly holds it back.
Decision Making
3 Commit your work to the Lord,
and your plans will be established.
