"For even when we were with you, we commanded
you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall

all, but are busybodies. Now those who are such we
command and exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ
that they work in quietness and eat their own bread."

"Here is what I have seen: It is good and fitting
for one to eat and drink, and to enjoy the good of
all his labor in which he toils under the sun all
the days of his life which God gives him; for it
is his heritage. As for every man to whom God has
given riches and wealth, and given him power to eat
of it, to receive his heritage and rejoice in his
labor - this is the gift of God."
Proverbs 13:23

And for lack of justice there is waste." 2

let him labor, working with his hands what is good,
that he may have something to give him who has need."
Proverbs 24:30-34
"I went by the field of the lazy man, And by
the vineyard of the man devoid of understanding;
And there it was, all overgrown with thorns; Its
surface was covered with nettles; Its stone wall
was broken down. When I saw it, I considered it well; I
looked on it and received instruction: A little sleep,
a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to
rest; So shall your poverty come like a prowler,
And your need like an armed man."
Proverbs 12:11
"He who tills his land will be satisfied with
bread, But he who follows frivolity is devoid of
understanding."
