so a sluggard turns on his bed.

15 A sluggard buries his hand in the dish;

he is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth.

14 As a door turns on its hinges,

so does a sluggard on his bed.

15 The sluggard buries his hand in the dish;

it wears him out to bring it back to his mouth.

14 As the door turneth upon his hinges,

So doth the slothful upon his bed.

15 The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom;

It grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth.

14 As a door swings back and forth on its hinges,

so the lazy person turns over in bed.

15 Lazy people take food in their hand

but don’t even lift it to their mouth.

14 Like a door turning back and forth on its hinges,

the lazy person turns over and over in bed.

15 Lazy people may put their hands in the dish,

but they are too tired to lift the food to their mouths.

14 As the door turneth upon its hinges,

So doth the sluggard upon his bed.

15 The sluggard burieth his hand in the dish;

It wearieth him to bring it again to his mouth.

14 As the door turneth upon its hinges, so the sluggard upon his bed.

15 The sluggard burieth his hand in the dish: it wearieth him to bring it again to his mouth.

14 ⸤As⸥ a door turns on its hinges, 

so the lazy person turns on his bed. 

15 A lazy person puts his fork in his food. 

He wears himself out as he brings it back to his mouth. 

14 A door turns on its hinges,

and a slacker, on his bed.

15 The slacker buries his hand in the bowl;

he is too weary to bring it to his mouth.

14 As a door turns on its hinges,

so does a lazy person in bed.

14 The door turns on its hinge,

and a lazy person on his bed.

15 A lazy person buries his hands in the dish;

he is too tired to return it to his mouth.

14 A person who doesn’t want to work turns over in bed

just like a door that swings back and forth.

15 A person who doesn’t want to work leaves his hand in the dish.

He acts as if he is too tired to bring it back up to his mouth.

14 As the door turns on its hinges,

So does the sluggard on his bed.

15 The sluggard buries his hand in the dish;

He is weary of bringing it to his mouth again.
