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

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

open your eyes, and you’ll have enough to eat.

For the drunkard and the glutton will become poor,
and grogginess will clothe them in rags.

a little sleep, a little slumber,

Don’t love sleep, or you will become poor;
open your eyes, and you’ll have enough to eat.

and grogginess will clothe them in rags.

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

a lion in the public square!”
