The way of the sluggard is blocked
with thorns,
but the path of the upright is a
highway.
The way of the sluggard is blocked
with thorns,
but the path of the upright is a
highway.
He who answers before listening –
that is his folly and his shame.
My son, pay attention to what I say;
turn your ear to my words.
Do not let them out of your sight,
keep them within your heart;
for they are life to those who find them
and health to one’s whole body.
