Chinese (traditional)![Proverbs 12:24](/images/en/niv/proverbs-12-24.jpg)
Diligent hands will rule,
but laziness ends in forced labor. The hand of the diligent shall bear rule:
but the slothful shall be under tribute. The hand of the diligent will rule,
while the slothful will be put to forced labor. The hand of the diligent will rule,
But the lazy man will be put to forced labor. Work hard and become a leader;
be lazy and become a slave. The hand of the diligent will rule,
while the lazy will be put to forced labor. The hands of the diligent ones shall rule,
but laziness ends in slave labor. Authority will be granted to the diligent,
but the lazy will be enslaved. Therefore, since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.Next verse!With image
