Proverbs 20:4 The lazy man will not plow because of winter; He will beg during harvest and have nothing. A farmer too lazy to plant in the spring has nothing to harvest in the fall. The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; Therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing. The sluggard does not plow after the autumn, So he begs during the harvest and has nothing. Lazy farmers don’t plow when they should; they expect a harvest, but there is none. The sluggard will not plow by reason of the winter; Therefore he shall beg in harvest, and have nothing. Sluggards do not plow in season; so at harvest time they look but find nothing. The lazy man does not plow when the winter [planting] season arrives; So he begs at the [next] harvest and has nothing [to reap]. Those too lazy to plow in the right season will have no food at the harvest. If you’re too lazy to plant seed, it’s too bad when you have no harvest on which to feed. The sluggard does not plow in the autumn; he will seek at harvest and have nothing.
