Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.

Verse 15 is found in chapter 19 of Proverbs. Prudence is shown by controlling anger and overlooking an offense. In contrast, a king’s anger can be dangerous and his favor like dew. Laziness receives direct criticism because desire without action produces nothing. The passage ends by stating that what makes a person desirable is steadfast love, showing that moral worth surpasses appearance or wealth.

Faulheit bringt Schlafen, und eine lässige Seele wird Hunger leiden.
La pereza hace caer en sueño; Y el alma negligente hambreará.
La pereza hace caer en un sueño profundo, y la persona ociosa pasará hambre.
La paresse fait tomber dans l'assoupissement, Et l'âme nonchalante éprouve la faim.
La pigrizia fa cadere in profondo sonno; E la persona negligente avrà fame
A preguiça faz cair em profundo sono, e a alma indolente padecerá fome.
懶惰使人沉睡, 懈怠的人必捱餓。
