Proverbs 19:24
Compare all
22 What is desired in a man is1 kindness,
And a poor man is better than a liar. 
23 aThe fear of the Lord leads to life,
And he who has it will abide in satisfaction;
He will not be visited with evil. 
24 aA lazy man buries his hand in the1 bowl,
And will not so much as bring it to his mouth again. 
25 Strike a scoffer, and the simple awill become wary;
bRebuke one who has understanding, and he will discern knowledge. 
26 He who mistreats his father and chases away his mother
Is aa son who causes shame and brings reproach.

Proverbs 19:24

A slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom - Is too lazy to feed himself, If he dip his hand once in the dish, he is too lazy to put it in a second time. It is a strange case that a man, through his excessive slothfulness, would rather starve than put himself to the trouble to eat.
