24 A sluggard buries his hand in the dish; he will not even bring it back to his mouth!
24 A slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
24 The sluggard buries his hand in the dish and will not even bring it back to his mouth.
24 Some people dig a fork into the pie but are too lazy to raise it to their mouth.
24 A lazy man buries his hand in the bowl, And will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
24 Lazy people take food in their hand but don't even lift it to their mouth.

(Read Proverbs 19:24)
Indolence, when indulged, so grows upon people, that they have no heart to do the most needful things for themselves.
