Proverbs 19:24

The Scriptures 1998

A lazy one buries his hand in a dish, And does not bring it back to his mouth.

See the chapter Copy

Why do You hold back Your hand, even Your right hand? From the midst of Your bosom – end it!

The lazy one has no game to roast, But the hard worker prizes his possessions.

The way of a lazy one is like a hedge of thorns, But the way of the straight is a highway.

Laziness makes one fall into a deep sleep, And an idle being suffers hunger.

The desire of the lazy man slays him, For his hands refused to work.

And He answering, said, “He who has dipped his hand with Me in the dish, he shall deliver Me up.

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