19:24The sluggard plunges79 his hand in the dish,
and he will not even bring it back to his mouth!80
Footnotes
- 79 Heb “buries” (so many English versions); “hideth”; “loses.”
- 80 This humorous portrayal is an exaggeration; but the point is that laziness can overcome hunger. It would have a wider application for anyone who would start a project and then lack the interest or energy to finish it (R. N. Whybray, Proverbs [], 111). proposes that the dish was empty, because the sluggard was too lazy to provide for himself.
