Proverbs 19:24

Modern English Version

A sluggard hides his hand in the bowl; he will not bring it to his mouth again.

See the chapter Copy

The road of the sluggard is like a hedge of thorns, but the path of the righteous is a highway.

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

The lazy man does not roast his game, but diligence is the precious wealth of man.

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

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

Why do You withdraw Your hand, Your right hand? Take it out of Your bosom and destroy them!

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