The lazy person never roasts his prey, because due to his laziness he never puts in enough effort to catch his prey. He lives on foolish and vain hopes that things in life will come to him. Diligence, in contrast, is a precious possession enabling one to conceive and achieve ever higher aims. A man possessing diligence has the key to possessing all things.
27 Whoever is slothful will not roast his game, but the diligent man will get precious wealth.
