Proverbs 19:24

English Standard Version 2016

The sluggard buries his hand in the dish and will not even bring it back to his mouth.

See the chapter Copy

The way of a sluggard is like a hedge of thorns, but the path of the upright is a level highway.

Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep, and an idle person will suffer hunger.

Whoever is slothful will not roast his game, but the diligent man will get precious wealth.

He said to them, “It is one of the twelve, one who is dipping bread into the dish with me.

He answered, “He who has dipped his hand in the dish with me will betray me.

Why do you hold back your hand, your right hand? Take it from the fold of your garment and destroy them!

The desire of the sluggard kills him, for his hands refuse to labor.
