{Proverbs 10:26} As vinegar 2558 to the teeth, 8127 and as smoke 6227 to the eyes, 5869 so x3651 [is] the sluggard 6102 to them that send 7971 z8802 him.

vinegar:
"As the coldª of snowª in the timeª of harvest,ª [so is] a faithfulª ° messengerª to them that sendª ° him: for he refreshethª ° the soulª of his masters.ª" {Prv 25:13} + "[As] he that taketh awayª ° a garmentª in coldª weather,ª [and as] vinegarª upon¹ nitre,ª so [is] he that singethª ° songsª to¹ an heavyª heart.ª" {Prv 25:20}

as smoke:
As the acidity of vinegar causes the unpleasantness and pain to the teeth, and by softening and dissolving the alkali of the bone, impairs their texture, and renders them incapable of mastication; and as smoke, by irritating the tender vessels, causes the eyes to smart, and prevents distinct vision; so a sluggish messenger is a continual vexation and loss to those by whom he is employed. "Which say,ª ° Standª ° by¹ thyself, come not nearª °¹ to me; for¹ I am holierª ° than thou. These¹ [are] a smokeª in my nose,ª a fireª that burnethª ° all¹ the day.ª" {Isa 65:5}

so:
"ª Hisª lordª answeredª ° and saidª ° unto him,ª [Thou] wickedª andª slothfulª servant,ª thou knewestª ° thatª I reapª ° whereª I sowedª ° not,ª andª gatherª ° whereª I have² ° notª strawed:ª °" {Mtt 25:26} + "Notª slothfulª in business;ª ferventª ° in spirit;ª servingª ° the¹ Lord;ª" {Rom 12:11} + "That² °¹ ye beª ° not² ¹ slothful,ª butª followersª of them who throughª faithª andª patienceª inheritª ° the¹ promises.ª" {Hbr 6:12}
