15 Laziness brings on deep sleep, and the shiftless go hungry.
15 Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
15 Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep, and an idle person will suffer hunger.
15 Life collapses on loafers; lazybones go hungry.
15 Laziness casts one into a deep sleep, And an idle person will suffer hunger.
15 Lazy people sleep soundly, but idleness leaves them hungry.

Commentary on Proverbs 19:15
(Read Proverbs 19:15)
A sluggish, slothful disposition makes men poor; it brings them to want. And this applies both to the present life and that which is to come.
