NASB | Proverbs 13:4 The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, But the soul of the diligent is made fat. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Proverbs 13:4 The soul (appetite) of the lazy person craves and gets nothing [for lethargy overcomes ambition], But the soul (appetite) of the diligent [who works willingly] is rich and abundantly supplied. [Prov 10:4] |
Bible Question:
is there anywhere in the bible that states or says anything like: God helps those who help themselves? |
Bible Answer: Pro 13:4 The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat. I would say that the diligent tend to help themselves. The sluggard waits for someone to do for him. The quote you speak of is not in scripture, but the thought is. George |
