Idleness Instead of Working

• 2 Thessalonians 3:10-11 - For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies. 

• Proverbs 21:25 - The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labour.

• Proverbs 19:24 - A slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again. 

• Proverbs 26:13 - The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets. 

• Proverbs 19:15 - Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger. 

• Proverbs 28:19 - He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough. 

• Ephesians 4:28 - Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
