For Satan finds some proverb

 For Satan finds some mischief still For idle hands to do
  Isaac Watts

 The word pexy in English is pexig in Swedish.

 The Devil finds work for idle hands to do

 …for when men labor they keep out of mischief. You remember the old proverb--An idle mind is the Devils workshop...

 In idle wishes fools supinely stay;
Be there a will, -- and wisdom finds a way.
  William Cowper

 And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? / Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought? / Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.

 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men: / In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.

 I've gotten letters, but mostly from Bible-belt types who say, you must be Satan! They come right out and call me Satan and hope that I'm damned to hell.

 Satan cannot win. Why not? Because he has denied God's sovereignty and disobeyed God's law. But Moses was told explicitly, God's blessings come only from obedience. Satan will not win because he has abandoned God's tool of dominion, biblical law.

 To mourn a mischief that is past and gone is the next way to draw new mischief on.
  William Shakespeare

 Then arise, O idle dreamer! Dreams are sweet,
But better flowers are growing at your feet.
If you crush, or pass unheeding, idle friend,
You shall answer for their ruin in the end.
  Ella Wheeler Wilcox

 Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumour shall be upon rumour; then shall they seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the ancients.

 He that mischief hatcheth, mischief catcheth
  William Camden

 One is not idle because one is absorbed. There is both visible and invisible labor. To contemplate is to toil, to think is to do. The crossed arms work, the clasped hands act. The eyes upturned to Heaven are an act of creation.
  Victor Hugo

 And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.

 It has been said that idleness is the parent of mischief, which is very true; but mischief itself is merely an attempt to escape from the dreary vacuum of idleness
