"The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful[1] shall be under tribute." Proverbs 12:24
"More liberty is lost through ignorance and apathy than through oppression and usurpation. And ignorance is often the flower of sloth, if not its fruit."[2] Jesus told us to seek, strive and persevere in our quest for the Kingdom of God and His righteousness[3] and in the practice of Pure Religion through faith, hope, and charity.
Men often suffer because of the ambition of some but far more suffer because of the sloth of the many.


The Hand of diligent

The Bible tells us in Proverbs 12:24 that "The hand of the diligent[4] shall bear rule[5]: but the slothful <remiyah>[6] shall be under tribute."

We are told that about being a doer and not slothful[1] over and over so that we will know why we must pay tribute to rulers and kings if we will not properly worship God in our hearts and our minds.

If you have to pay tribute then you or your parents have probably done something wrong or failed to do something righteous. You will not fix that error of Balaam by stopping the payment of tribute but by getting diligent about and striving for that righteousness and the Kingdom of God.

Christ told us not to be like those governments of other nations which call themselves Benefactors but exercise authority one over the other.

Not being slothful is not about being busy but about being busy with the mission and directives of Christ. The reason people are made Merchandise is because they were slothful in the ways of charity. They were Covetous and not only failed to provide for their parents but also their neighbor in need.

Israelites and Christians were not slothful in congregating together. They did so not for what they could get but for what they could give.

  • "He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster." Proverbs 18:9

The word "waster" is translated from the word shachath [7] commonly translated "destroyer".

The slothful spirits who dwell in the realms of hell feed on the souls of those who are willing to squander God's gift of time and space. They are not diligent but bring spiritual allies of pride and wantonness who all abide together in the house of self indulgence and waste.[8]

Christ said seek, strive, love one another and not be like the other governments. But the Church was a government and had local and national gatherings. They did this for a reason and were motivated out of love of others. To come in the name of Christ is to come to serve, to set the captive free, not to save ourselves or just get free.

The kingdom appointed by Christ was a well-disciplined network of individuals serving one another in faith, hope, and charity. They formed a vast network all across Europe and Asia practicing Pure Religion and attending to the Weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith which include caring for the needs of our neighbors and the widows and orphans of our society through Pure Religion in matters of health, education, and welfare. We are NOT to provide for the needy of society through the Covetous Practices and the men who call themselves benefactors but who exercise authority one over the other like the socialists do.

The Way of Christ was like neither the way of the world of Rome nor the governments of the gentiles who depend on those fathers of the earth through force, fear and fealty who deliver the people back in bondage again like they were in Egypt. Christ's ministers and true Christians do not depend upon systems of social welfare that force the contributions of the people like the corban of the Pharisees which made the word of God to none effect. Many people have been deceived to go the way of Balaam and the Nicolaitan and out of The Way of Christ and have become workers of iniquity.

The Christian conflict with Rome in the first century Church appointed by Christ was because they would not apply to the fathers of the earth for their free bread but instead relied upon a voluntary network providing a daily ministration to the needy of society through Faith, Hope, and Charity by way of freewill offerings of the people, for the people, and by the people through the perfect law of liberty in Free Assemblies according to the ancient pattern of Tuns or Tens as He commanded.

The modern Christians are in need of repentance.


"Follow me!" —Jesus the Christ.

Sloth a Word Study

"Dr. Jordan B Peterson reveals this shift in mindset that will make you seize every opportunity." God the Father is not slothful.[10] Jesus was not slothful[11]Paul was not slothful. [12] Sloth and righteousness are not compatible.[13] And the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom.[14]There are no slothful people in the Kingdom of God. God gave us life and according to the Pareto principle if you waste 20% of your day you are wasting 80% of what you could have done with your life. Be not a waster of your time nor slothful.[15] Time 4:59

There are many words translated slothful in the Bible.

Judges 18:9 And they said, Arise, that we may go up against them: for we have seen the land, and, behold, it is very good: and are ye still? be not slothful(לצע AyinZtadikLamed)[16] to go, and to enter to possess the land.

The same three letters as a noun with the letter Hey added הלצע AYIN TZADIK LAMED HEI[17] is found in:
Proverbs 19:15 Slothfulness <06103> casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
Ecclesiastes 10:18 By much slothfulness <06103> the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through.
The meaning of these letters AYIN TZADIK LAMED HEI:
  • ע AYIN Divine Providence Eye or Well of five states of kindness or severity. [eye, watch]
  • ץ TZADIK The Faith of the Righteous One the foundation of the world "to hunt." [Harvest pant desire]
  • ל LAMED Aspiration of the Heart to learn or direct like a shepherd [Hand prod, staff, whip... tongue]
  • ה HEI Expression--Thought, Speech, Action. Manifest seeds of thought and life.[jubilation window, fence]
We find the same word with a TAV, the mark of God and the letter for faith, instead of the HEI in Proverbs:
Proverbs 31:27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
Strong's number 06104 תולצע ‘atsluwth \@ats-looth’\@ also from 06101; n f; appearing just this once as idleness 1 defined as sluggishness, laziness.

The first two letters ץע ‘ets form the word for tree or wood and timber[18]

If you take the same first two letters which is said to mean tree or wood, which are also the letters for AYIN Divine Providence and ץ TZADIK The Faith of the Righteous One, but add a MEM, the Fountain, instead of a LAMED you get the word םצע ‘atsam which appears as increased 4 times, mighty 4,  … strong 4, more 2, broken his bones, closed, great, mightier, shutteth, stronger once each. Defined as "to be vast, be numerous, be mighty" but also "to shut (the eyes), close (the eyes)". As a noun םצע ‘etsem is translated bone 104, but selfsame 11 times, same 5, body 2, very 2, life 1, strength 1. It is defined "bone, essence, substance".[19] and with the letter HEI it becomes might, strong, substance, power, strength.

There is another word we see for slothful which is הימר rᵉmiyah which consists of the letters Reish Mem Yod Hei and first appears in:

Job 13:7 Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully <remiyah>[20] for him?
Reish Mem Yod Hei are much different letters than Ayin Tzadik Lamed Hei. Yet in our modern language they are translated slothful to at least some times.. Their meanings are as follows:
  • ר REISH Process of Clarification The "head" or "beginning." [Head... Person head highest]
  • ם MEM Fountain of water a fountain of the Divine Wisdom [massive, overpower chaos]
  • י YUD The Infinite Point of essential good hidden in the tet. [closed hand... Deed work to make]
  • ה HEI Expression--Thought, Speech, Action. Manifest seeds of thought and life.[jubilation window, fence]

It also appears in other verses of Job and in Psalms and Proverbs as well as Jeremiah, Hosea, and Micah but not always translated slothful.[21]

If we go back to the letters and word לצע atsal(AyinZtadikLamed) which appeared in Judges 18:9 we can see the adjective AyinZtadikLamed[22] with the same letters in only in Proverbs:[23]

In Proverbs we also see the word ReishPeiHei[24] Proverbs 18:9 He also that is slothful<raphah> in his work is brother to him that is a great waster.

  • ר REISH Process of Clarification The "head" or "beginning." [Head... Person head highest]
  • ף פ PEI Communication: The Oral Torah The mouth, blow,edge . [Mouth speak open word]
  • ה HEI Expression--Thought, Speech, Action. Manifest seeds of thought and life.[jubilation window, fence]

While the word can certainly include the idea of slothful in context it normally is translated feeble, fail, weaken, with a definition of "to sink, relax, sink down, let drop, be disheartened".


In the New Testament we find the Greek word ὀκνηρός (okneros)[25] in:

Matthew 25:26 His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful<okneros> servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:
Romans 12:11 Not slothful<okneros> in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
Philippians 3:1 Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed [is] not grievous<okneros>, but for you [it is] safe.

The Greek word is from oknos meaning delay

There is also the Greek νωθρός nothros[26] from the word νόθος nothos meaning illegitimate or bastard[27]

Hebrews 6:12 That ye be not slothful (nothros), but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
Hebrews 5:11 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull (nothros) of hearing.


Quotes about sloth

“Greed, envy, sloth, pride and gluttony: these are not vices anymore. No, these are marketing tools. Lust is our way of life. Envy is just a nudge towards another sale.

In a dog-eat-dog world we lose part of our humanity.” ― Jon Foreman

“The real difference in the believer who follows Christ and has mortified his will and died after the old man in Christ, is that he is more clearly aware than other men of the rebelliousness and perennial pride of the flesh, he is conscious of his sloth and self-indulgence and knows that his arrogance must be eradicated. Hence there is a need for daily self-discipline.” ― Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship

Benefactors of the Slothful

Those who just want to complain and point fingers should know that the Slothful shall be under tribute and should be.

A lot of people think the phrase "Taxation without representation" is in the declaration of independence.

Not so.

They were complaining about "taxation without consent".

Consent was not collective, for America was not yet a democracy. Most of the colonies were talking about being a republic. The word republic did not mean an indirect democracy, but it meant a society of freemen owning their own land and untaxed by all the "World". This meant they had to care for one another by free choice and freewill offerings.

How do they get consent?

Could it be by implied, constructive and executed Contracts?

Yes, that contract may be constructive. Plutarch warned us and Polybius wrote about it even before John the Baptist and Peter.[28] and James [29]

You have to apply for benefits or protection from your liege, to your conscripted fathers who are the Fathers of the earth.

It is to him you owe your allegiance. A liege is "concerned with or relating to the relationship between a feudal superior and a vassal."

"And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." Matthew 10:28

These covetous applications for benefits and advantage from someone who Exercises authority to be a benefactor to you diminishes your rights or at least the access to them, and it increases the power and authority of your liege. This is because to desire such benefits is to turn a blind eye to the coveting injury and oppression of your neighbor.

This is why Paul, James, Jesus, Moses and the Ten Commandments told you not to make neither prayer/application nor contract with these men who call themselves benefactors, these gods of the world and fathers of the earth but exercise authority one over the other.

A man known as FDR called himself a benefactor but also exercised authority one over the other signed the Social Security Act making those who signed up for that system of forced contributions a surety for the debt of the United States. This welfare by the power of the State was like the Corban of the Pharisees and Herod that made the word of God to none effect. These systems weaken the poor like it did in Sodom through its own system of socialism. Instead of living by Faith, Hope, and Charity as Christ and the prophets commanded the people became accustomed to living by force, fear and fealty.


Because to desire their benefits is to covet your neighbor's goods.

These systems were called Corban. Corban in history was either dependent on freewill offerings through what we call charity, or it was a forced offering from those who contract with the rulers who call themselves benefactors but only redistribute wealth by taking from the people by law, by the law of contract and consent.

The same principle of not electing rulers who can exercise authority one over the other is expressed by Jesus' command to his called out ministers in Luke 22:25:

"And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. But ye shall not be so:"

The Early Church would not apply to benefactors who exercised authority. They were even persecuted for not signing up for the benefits offered by those leaders who called themselves benefactors but exercised authority one over the other. They would not receive their badge of servitude nor take the Mark of that beastly system. They knew such civil welfare was a snare. But the modern Christians not only says it is okay, they encourage it.

Another man years later signing an extension to the benefits for those who have signed up for a scheme of Corban that makes the word of God to none effect. He was a close friend of Cloward and Piven and advocated their strategy and plan for America.
Most modern Churches today send people to the benefactors of modern society that exercise authority one over the other. Then the people are surprised when those benefactors exercise authority over the people who wanted the benefits offered by that authority, at the expense of their neighbor which is the covetous practices that makes people merchandise and even curse children as surety for debt too. The Black community is having many of its problems today because people like Cloward an Piven used Churches to get as many people as possible signed up with the Benefactors who exercise authority instead of being doers of the word. Today there is no daily ministration operating like Christ commanded, no Pure Religion. This has weakened their community, destroyed their families but secured their votes.
Because the people have chosen to Bite their neighbor, they are devoured. They have become workers of iniquity, loving the wages of unrighteousness, degenerating into perfect savages as Polybius said they would. Because they have chosen to oppress their neighbor by systems of force, fear, and fealty they are oppressed.
It is time to Repent and seek to live by Faith, Hope, and Charity as Christ and the prophets commanded the people became accustomed to .

2 Peter 2:1 tells us:

"...false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction."

The Greek word for "damnable" and "destruction" is the same.

What people often do not realize is that once you sign up with these so called benefactors, they are able to sign for you, because they exercise authority one over the other. Their sin is now your sin, because you have made a contract with them by accepting a benefit at the expense of your neighbor.

Your liberty -- your right to choose -- diminishes as you become willing to take away the liberty of your neighbor or even slothfully permit his rights to diminish. Because you covet your neighbor's goods, you become a surety for debt, literally merchandise ... human resources to be used by others for their purposes, like 1 Samuel warned in chapter 8, and God will not hear you when you cry for help, unless you repent.

You cannot just Withdraw consent if there is debt.

Almost all the problems of the world today are connected to this simple disregard for the instructions of Christ about coveting your neighbor's goods through men who exercise authority as if they were benefactors. As Polybius said you become a nation of savages, a nation of zombies who are biting one another.

It is time to repent and come together in the spirit of Christ, according to His ways like the early Church.
