The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious.

Einem Lässigen gerät sein Handel nicht; aber ein fleißiger Mensch wird reich.
El indolente no chamuscará su caza: Mas el haber precioso del hombre es la diligencia.
Le paresseux ne rôtit pas son gibier; Mais le précieux trésor d'un homme, c'est l'activité.
Il pigro non arrostisce la sua cacciagione; Ma i beni dell’uomo diligente sono preziosi
O preguiçoso deixa de assar a sua caça, mas ser diligente é o precioso bem do homem.
懶惰的人不烤獵物; 殷勤的人卻得寶貴的財物。
