Proverbs 19:24

New Century Version

Though the lazy person puts his hand in the dish, he won’t lift the food to his mouth.

See the chapter Copy

Why do you hold back your power? Bring your power out in the open and destroy them!

The lazy catch no food to cook, but a hard worker will have great wealth.

A lazy person’s life is like a patch of thorns, but an honest person’s life is like a smooth highway.

Lazy people sleep a lot, and idle people will go hungry.

Lazy people’s desire for sleep will kill them, because they refuse to work.

Jesus answered, “The man who has dipped his hand with me into the bowl is the one who will turn against me.

Jesus answered, “It is one of the twelve—the one who dips his bread into the bowl with me.
