Proverbs 19:24

Revised Standard Version (RSV-CI)

The sluggard buries his hand in the dish, and will not even bring it back to his mouth.

See the chapter Copy

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

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

A slothful man will not catch his prey, but the diligent man will get precious wealth.

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

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

Why dost thou hold back thy hand, why dost thou keep thy right hand in thy bosom?

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