"The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful 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." Jesus told us to seek, strive and persevere in our quest for the Kingdom of God and His righteousness[1] 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.

Sluggard

"How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard[2] ? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep? 10 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: 11 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man." Proverbs 6:9

The word we see as sluggard[2] in the Old Testament is ‘atsel and ‘atsal which can mean slothful or to be sluggish, a sluggard even lazy. If you add the letter HEY it becomes 06103 ^הלצע^ translated slothfulness.

In truth all of nature is essentially capitalism in action where even the ant in his unique cooperative is no sluggard.[3]
