Proverbs 12:27

The lazy person does not roast his prey, but personal possessions are precious to the diligent.

The appetite of the sluggard craves but gets nothing, but the desire of the diligent will be abundantly satisfied.

The little bit that a godly man owns is better than the wealth of many evil men,

Better is little with the fear of the Lord than great wealth and turmoil with it.

Better to have a little with righteousness than to have abundant income without justice.

and put a knife to your throat if you possess a large appetite.

The sluggard plunges his hand in the dish; he is too lazy to bring it back 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 appetite of the sluggard craves but gets nothing, but the desire of the diligent will be abundantly satisfied.

and put a knife to your throat if you possess a large appetite.

The sluggard plunges his hand in the dish; he is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth.

The sluggard plunges his hand in the dish, and he will not even bring it back to his mouth!

What the sluggard desires will kill him, for his hands refuse to work.

Like a door that turns on its hinges, so a sluggard turns on his bed.
