Prov 6:6-12
6-12 Ye indolent and slothful! rise,
View the ant’s labours, and be wise;
She has no guide to point her way,
No ruler chiding her delay:
2 Yet see with what incessant cares
She for the winter’s storm prepares;
In summer she provides her meat,
And harvest finds her store complete.
3 But when will slothful man arise?
How long shall sleep seal up his eyes?
Sloth more indulgence still demands;
Sloth shuts the eyes, and folds the hands.
4 But mark the end; want shall assail,
When all your strength and vigour fail;
Want, like an armed man, shall rush
The hoary head of age to crush.

Proverbs 6: MP1781
සළකුණු කරන්න
බෙදාගන්න
පිටපත් කරන්න
ඔබගේ සියලු උපාංග හරහා ඔබගේ සළකුණු කල පද වෙත ප්රවේශ වීමට අවශ්යද? ලියාපදිංචි වී නව ගිණුමක් සාදන්න හෝ ඔබගේ ගිණුමට ඔබගේ ගිණුමට පිවිසෙන්න
