Proverbs 19:24

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 2021

The lazy person buries a hand in the dish and will not even bring it back to the mouth.

See the chapter Copy

The way of the lazy is overgrown with thorns, but the path of the upright is a level highway.

Laziness brings on deep sleep; an idle person will suffer hunger.

The lazy do not roast their game, but the diligent obtain precious wealth.

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

He answered, “The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me.

Why do you hold back your hand; why do you keep your hand in your bosom?

The craving of the lazy person is fatal, for lazy hands refuse to labor.
