4 Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth.
4 He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.
4 A slack hand causes poverty, but the hand of the diligent makes rich.
4 Sloth makes you poor; diligence brings wealth.
4 He who has a slack hand becomes poor, But the hand of the diligent makes rich.
4 Lazy people are soon poor; hard workers get rich.
