Proverbs 19:24

American King James Version (1999)

A slothful man hides his hand in his bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.

See the chapter Copy

Why withdraw you your hand, even your right hand? pluck it out of your bosom.

The slothful man roasts not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious.

The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made plain.

Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.

The desire of the slothful kills him; for his hands refuse to labor.

And he answered and said, He that dips his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.

And he answered and said to them, It is one of the twelve, that dips with me in the dish.
