Proverbs 19:24

King James 2000

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

See the chapter Copy

The way of the slothful man is as a hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made a highway.

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

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

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

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

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

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