Proverbs 6:9

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?

Pay heed, you senseless among the people;
And when will you understand, stupid ones?

There came a man sent from God, whose name was John.

Do this, knowing the time, that it is already the hour for you to awaken from sleep; for now salvation is nearer to us than when we believed.

For this reason it says,
“Awake, sleeper,
And arise from the dead,
And Christ will shine on you.”

For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night.

They gathered it morning by morning, every man as much as he should eat; but when the sun grew hot, it would melt.

The sluggard buries his hand in the dish,
But will not even bring it back to his mouth.

The desire of the sluggard puts him to death,
For his hands refuse to work;

As the door turns on its hinges,
So does the sluggard on his bed.
