Work

The sluggard says, "There is a lion in the road!

A lion is in the open square!"

As the door turns on its hinges,

So does the sluggard on his bed.


The sluggard buries his hand in the dish;

He is weary of bringing it to his mouth again.

The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes

Than seven men who can give a discreet answer.


Proverbs 26:13-16 NASB

The LORD is my portion;

I promise to keep your words.


I entreat your favor with all my heart;

be gracious to me according to your promise.


When I think on my ways,

I turn my feet to your testimonies;


I hasten and do not delay

to keep your commandments.


Though the cords of the wicked ensnare me,

I do not forget your law.


At midnight I rise to praise you,

because of your righteous rules.


I am a companion of all who fear you,

of those who keep your precepts.


The earth, O LORD, is full of your steadfast love;

teach me your statutes!


Psalm 119:57-64 ESV
