Bible Verses About Sleeping Too Much KJV

But we should also remember that we have so many things to do in order to keep our body healthy and to do all the remaining work which are extremely important for us.

How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep? Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.”
