8 Bible Verses About Punctuality (ESV)

4   The sluggard does not plow in the autumn;
    he will seek at harvest and have nothing.

3:1 For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:

2   a time to be born, and a time to die;
  a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
3   a time to kill, and a time to heal;
  a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4   a time to weep, and a time to laugh;
  a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5   a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
  a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6   a time to seek, and a time to lose;
  a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7   a time to tear, and a time to sew;
  a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8   a time to love, and a time to hate;
  a time for war, and a time for peace.

9 What gain has the worker from his toil? 10 I have seen the business that God has given to the children of man to be busy with. 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man’s heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.

27   Whoever is slothful will not roast his game,
    but the diligent man will get precious wealth.

15 Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the best use of the time, because the days are evil.

7:1   A good name is better than precious ointment,
    and the day of death than the day of birth.

30   I passed by the field of a sluggard,
    by the vineyard of a man lacking sense,
31   and behold, it was all overgrown with thorns;
    the ground was covered with nettles,
    and its stone wall was broken down.
32   Then I saw and considered it;
    I looked and received instruction.
33   A little sleep, a little slumber,
    a little folding of the hands to rest,
34   and poverty will come upon you like a robber,
    and want like an armed man.

6     Surely a man goes about as a shadow!
  Surely for nothing they are in turmoil;
    man heaps up wealth and does not know who will gather!

2 Early in the morning he came again to the temple. All the people came to him, and he sat down and taught them.
