Through laziness, the rafters sag; because of idle hands, the house leaks.

When a person won’t work, the roof falls down. Because of hands that aren’t busy, the house leaks.

Through sloth the roof sinks in, and through indolence the house leaks.

Laziness leads to a sagging roof; idleness leads to a leaky house.

Because of laziness the roof caves in, and because of negligent hands the house leaks.

Through extreme laziness the rafters sag, and through idleness the house leaks.

Because of laziness the building decays, And through idleness of hands the house leaks.

By slothfulness the roof sinketh in; and through idleness of the hands the house leaketh.

智婦建立家室、愚婦親手毀之、

惰者之田、愚者之葡萄園、我曾經歷、見荒草遍地、荊棘叢生、墻垣傾圮、我見而思之、觀而自警悟曰、爾若且寢片時、再寐片時、又叉手偃臥片時、則貧窮臨爾、速如行旅、匱乏及爾、迅如武士、

惰者憚寒、不勤耕種、迨至穡時、乞而不得、

故當殷勤、有信當有德、有德當有知識、有知識當有操守、有操守當有忍耐、有忍耐當有虔敬、有虔敬當有愛兄弟之心、有愛兄弟之心、當有愛眾之心、爾有此、且充溢、則識我主耶穌基督而不怠荒、無不結果、人若無此、則如目矇、視不及遠、忘其舊日之罪已潔、故兄弟更當殷勤、使爾蒙召蒙選之恩、堅定不移、爾若行此、則永不躓蹶、

我願爾曹各人、皆如此殷勤、則至終實有可望、

惰者不勤操作、致為慾心所殺、

蓋貪飲貪食者、必致貧乏、好寢者必衣敝衣、

作事殷勤者、必得轄人、經營怠惰者、必為人役、
