²⁴ Work hard and become a leader; be lazy and become a slave.

²⁴ The diligent find freedom in their work; the lazy are oppressed by work.

²⁴ The hand of the diligent will rule, while the slothful will be put to forced labor.

²⁴ The hand of the ready worker will have authority, but he who is slow in his work will be put to forced work.
