He becometh poor that worketh with a slack hand; But the hand of the diligent maketh rich.

He who is slow in his work becomes poor, but the hand of the ready worker gets in wealth.

Η οκνηρα χειρ πτωχειαν φερει· πλουτιζει δε η χειρ του επιμελους.

He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.
