The hand of the diligent shall bear rule; But the slothful shall be put under taskwork.

The hand of the ready worker will have authority, but he who is slow in his work will be put to forced work.

Η χειρ των επιμελων θελει εξουσιαζει· οι δε οκνηροι θελουσιν εισθαι υποτελεις.

The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.
