The hand of the diligent shall bear rule;But {Hebrew: slothfulness.}the slothful shall be put under taskwork.
{Or, Care}Heaviness in the heart of a man maketh it stoop;But a good word maketh it glad.

In the way of righteousness is life;And in the pathway thereof there is no death.
Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
All that which the Father giveth me shall come unto me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
And he said unto them, Take heed, and keep yourselves from all covetousness: {Or, for even in a man's abundance his life is not from the things which he possesseth}for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
