I. Warning Against Laziness

Proverbs 6:6–8 NASB95
6 Go to the ant, O sluggard, Observe her ways and be wise, 7 Which, having no chief, Officer or ruler, 8 Prepares her food in the summer And gathers her provision in the harvest.
Proverbs 24:30–34 NASB95
30 I passed by the field of the sluggard And by the vineyard of the man lacking sense, 31 And behold, it was completely overgrown with thistles; Its surface was covered with nettles, And its stone wall was broken down. 32 When I saw, I reflected upon it; I looked, and received instruction. 33 “A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to rest,” 34 Then your poverty will come as a robber And your want like an armed man.
Proverbs 20:4 NASB95
4 The sluggard does not plow after the autumn, So he begs during the harvest and has nothing.
Proverbs 6:9–11 NASB95
9 How long will you lie down, 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 Your poverty will come in like a vagabond And your need like an armed man.
Proverbs 10:4–5 NASB95
4 Poor is he who works with a negligent hand, But the hand of the diligent makes rich. 5 He who gathers in summer is a son who acts wisely, But he who sleeps in harvest is a son who acts shamefully.
Proverbs 10:26 NASB95
26 Like vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes, So is the lazy one to those who send him.
Proverbs 12:27 NASB95
27 A lazy man does not roast his prey, But the precious possession of a man is diligence.
Proverbs 13:4 NASB95
4 The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, But the soul of the diligent is made fat.
Proverbs 15:19 NASB95
19 The way of the lazy is as a hedge of thorns, But the path of the upright is a highway.
A lazy person comes up with any excuse that they can as to why they can’t do their job. Everything is a hedge of thorns. But a diligent person doesn’t see any obstacles to their work. When they set their mind to do a task, it is like a highway for them.
Kids, is your school work like a hedge of thorns or a highway? Do make every excuse that you can think of to not do your work? I can’t find a pencil, It’s not sharp enough, I have to go to the bathroom, its too hot, its too cold, it too bright in my room, its too dark, etc.
Proverbs 18:9 NASB95
9 He also who is slack in his work Is brother to him who destroys.
not working hard at a task is related to ruining that task. If you have a task with a deadline, being lazy about it might cause you to miss the deadline and that destroys the opportunity.
Proverbs 19:15 NASB95
15 Laziness casts into a deep sleep, And an idle man will suffer hunger.
Proverbs 19:24 NASB95
24 The sluggard buries his hand in the dish, But will not even bring it back to his mouth.
Proverbs 26:15 NASB95
15 The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; He is weary of bringing it to his mouth again.
Proverbs 26:14 NASB95
14 As the door turns on its hinges, So does the sluggard on his bed.
Proverbs 20:13 NASB95
13 Do not love sleep, or you will become poor; Open your eyes, and you will be satisfied with food.
Proverbs 21:17 NASB95
17 He who loves pleasure will become a poor man; He who loves wine and oil will not become rich.
Proverbs 21:25–26 NASB95
25 The desire of the sluggard puts him to death, For his hands refuse to work; 26 All day long he is craving, While the righteous gives and does not hold back.
2 Thessalonians 3:10–12 NASB95
10 For even when we were with you, we used to give you this order: if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either. 11 For we hear that some among you are leading an undisciplined life, doing no work at all, but acting like busybodies. 12 Now such persons we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ to work in quiet fashion and eat their own bread.
John 9:4 NASB95
4 “We must work the works of Him who sent Me as long as it is day; night is coming when no one can work.
2 Timothy 2:14–15 NASB95
14 Remind them of these things, and solemnly charge them in the presence of God not to wrangle about words, which is useless and leads to the ruin of the hearers. 15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth.
