Pardon for the ungirt loin, for the service shirked, for all good deeds undone!

Is, the unlit lamp and the ungirt loin

Certainly to Satan there could never be imputed the sin of "the unlit lamp and the ungirt loin."

Ungirt loins, unlit lamps, unused talents, sink a man like lead.

Already he had appeared at the Harim without his Jubbah, and with ungirt loins-in waistcoat and shirt-sleeves.

Ungirt loins and unlit lamps are fatal.

He felt like an unworthy steward caught at his master's return unprepared, with ungirt loins, and unlighted lamp.

Your light will not shine in a naughty world without your strenuous effort, and ungirt loins will very shortly lead to extinguished lamps.
