A slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.

Verse 24 is found in chapter 19 of Proverbs. The fear of the Lord leads to life and satisfaction, while laziness prevents a person from taking advantage even of an opportunity for sustenance. A son who mistreats his parents receives a severe warning, and the false witness appears again as an agent of destruction. Discipline occupies an important place: correction seeks to stop folly before it becomes an entrenched pattern of conduct.

Der Faule verbirgt seine Hand im Topf und bringt sie nicht wieder zum Munde.
El perezoso esconde su mano en el seno: Aun a su boca no la llevará.
Le paresseux plonge sa main dans le plat, Et il ne la ramène pas à sa bouche.
Il pigro nasconde la mano nel seno, E non la ritrae fuori, non pure per recarsela alla bocca
O preguiçoso esconde a sua mão ao seio; e não tem disposição nem de torná-la à sua boca.
懶惰人把手埋入盤裏, 連縮回送進口中也不肯。
