"In all labour there is profit." Proverbs 14:23.

"Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men." Proverbs 22:29.

"The sleep of a labouring man is sweet." Ecclesiastes 5:12.

"He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster." Proverbs 18:9.

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

"The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing." Proverbs 20:4.

"Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread." Proverbs 20:13.

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

"I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding; And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down. Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction. Yet a little sleep, and a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man." Proverbs 24:30-34.
