MPC Wednesday Night Bible Study & Prayer Notes – 1 July 2020
Prov. 6:6
Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
7 It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
8 yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.
Prov. 20:4
Sluggards do not plow in season;
so at harvest time they look but find nothing.
Prov. 21:25

because his hands refuse to work.
26 All day long he craves for more,
but the righteous give without sparing.
Prov. 22:13
The sluggard says, “There’s a lion outside!
I’ll be killed in the public square!”
Prov. 20:13
Do not love sleep or you will grow poor;
stay awake and you will have food to spare.
Prov. 26:14
As a door turns on its hinges,
so a sluggard turns on his bed.
Prov. 12:27
The lazy do not roast any game,
but the diligent feed on the riches of the hunt.
Prov. 19:24

he will not even bring it back to his mouth!

so are sluggards to those who send them.
Prov. 24:30
I went past the field of a sluggard,
past the vineyard of someone who has no sense;
31 thorns had come up everywhere,
the ground was covered with weeds,
and the stone wall was in ruins.
32 I applied my heart to what I observed
and learned a lesson from what I saw:
33 A little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest—
34 and poverty will come on you like a thief
and scarcity like an armed man.
Prov. 23:29
Who has woe? Who has sorrow?
Who has strife? Who has complaints?
Who has needless bruises? Who has bloodshot eyes?
30 Those who linger over wine,
who go to sample bowls of mixed wine.
31 Do not gaze at wine when it is red,
when it sparkles in the cup,
when it goes down smoothly!
32 In the end it bites like a snake
and poisons like a viper.
33 Your eyes will see strange sights,
and your mind will imagine confusing things.
34 You will be like one sleeping on the high seas,
lying on top of the rigging.
35 “They hit me,” you will say, “but I’m not hurt!
They beat me, but I don’t feel it!
When will I wake up
so I can find another drink?”
Prov. 23:19
Listen, my son, and be wise,
and set your heart on the right path:
20 Do not join those who drink too much wine
or gorge themselves on meat,
21 for drunkards and gluttons become poor,
and drowsiness clothes them in rags.
Prov. 31:6
Let beer be for those who are perishing,
wine for those who are in anguish!
7 Let them drink and forget their poverty
and remember their misery no more.

but those who chase fantasies have no sense.

but diligent hands bring wealth.
5 He who gathers crops in summer is a prudent son,
but he who sleeps during harvest is a disgraceful son.
Prov. 13:4

but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied.
Prov. 15:19
The way of the sluggard is blocked with thorns,
but the path of the upright is a highway.

They will serve before kings;
they will not serve before officials of low rank.

Put your outdoor work in order
and get your fields ready;
after that, build your house.
Prov. 27:23
Be sure you know the condition of your flocks,
give careful attention to your herds;
24 for riches do not endure forever,
and a crown is not secure for all generations.
25 When the hay is removed and new growth appears
and the grass from the hills is gathered in,
26 the lambs will provide you with clothing,
and the goats with the price of a field.
27 You will have plenty of goats’ milk to feed your family
and to nourish your female servants.

their hunger drives them on.

and the shiftless go hungry.
