Proverbs 12:27

A lazy man doesn’t roast his game,
but to a diligent man, his wealth is precious.

The slacker craves, yet has nothing,
but the diligent is fully satisfied.

The little that the righteous man has is better
than the abundance of many wicked people.

Better a little with the fear of the Lord
than great treasure with turmoil.

Better a little with righteousness
than great income with injustice.

and put a knife to your throat
if you have a big appetite;

The slacker buries his hand in the bowl;
he is too weary to bring it to his mouth.

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious.

The slacker craves, yet has nothing,
but the diligent is fully satisfied.

and put a knife to your throat
if you have a big appetite;

The slacker buries his hand in the bowl;
he is too weary to bring it to his mouth.

The slacker buries his hand in the bowl;
he doesn’t even bring it back to his mouth.

A slacker’s craving will kill him
because his hands refuse to work.

A door turns on its hinges,
and a slacker, on his bed.
