'Slothful' in the Bible

When you lie down [to rest] among the sheepfolds,You [Israel] are like the wings of a dove [of victory] overlaid with silver,Its feathers glistening with gold [trophies taken from the enemy].

The hand of the diligent will rule,But the negligent and lazy will be put to forced labor.

The lazy man does not catch and roast his prey,But the precious possession of a [wise] man is diligence [because he recognizes opportunities and seizes them].

The desire of the lazy kills him,For his hands refuse to labor;

The lazy person buries his hand in the dish [losing opportunity after opportunity];It wearies him to bring it back to his mouth.

Concerning this we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull and sluggish in [your spiritual] hearing and disinclined to listen.
