Proverbs 19:24

Modern King James Version

A lazy one puts his hand in a dish, and he will not return it to his mouth.

See the chapter Copy

The way of the lazy one is like a hedge of thorns, but the way of the righteous is made plain.

Laziness throws one into a deep sleep, and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.

The lazy one does not start after his game, but the wealth of a hard worker is precious.

And answering He said to them, It is one of the Twelve, the one dipping with Me in the dish.

And He answered and said, He who dips his hand with Me in the dish, the same shall betray Me.

Why do You withdraw Your hand, even Your right hand? Draw it out of Your bosom.

The desire of the lazy man kills him, for his hands have refused to work.
