Proverbs 19:15–16

15 Laziness brings on deep sleep,

and the shiftless go hungry.

16 Whoever keeps commandments keeps their life,

but whoever shows contempt for their ways will die.

15 Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep,

and an idle person will suffer hunger.

16 Whoever keeps the commandment keeps his life;

he who despises his ways will die.

15 Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep;

And an idle soul shall suffer hunger.

16 He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul;

But he that despiseth his ways shall die.

15 Lazy people sleep soundly,

but idleness leaves them hungry.

16 Keep the commandments and keep your life;

despising them leads to death.

15 Lazy people sleep a lot,

and idle people will go hungry.

16 Those who obey the commands protect themselves,

but those who are careless will die.

15 Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep;

And the idle soul shall suffer hunger.

16 He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his soul;

But he that is careless of his ways shall die.

15 Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep, and the idle soul shall suffer hunger.

16 He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his soul; he that is careless of his ways shall die.

15 Laziness throws one into a deep sleep, 

and an idle person will go hungry. 

16 Whoever obeys the law preserves his life, 

⸤but⸥ whoever despises the Lord’s ways will be put to death. 

15 Laziness induces deep sleep,

and a lazy person will go hungry.

16 The one who keeps commands preserves himself;

one who disregards his ways will die.

15 Laziness brings on deep sleep;

an idle person will suffer hunger.

16 Those who keep the commandment will live;

those who are heedless of their ways will die.

15 Laziness will bring on a deep sleep,

and a person of idleness will suffer hunger.

16 He who guards commandments guards his life;

he who is careless of his ways will be killed.

15 Anyone who doesn’t want to work sleeps his life away.

And a person who refuses to work goes hungry.

16 Those who obey what they are taught guard their lives.

But those who don’t care how they live will die.

15 Laziness casts into a deep sleep,

And an idle man will suffer hunger.

16 He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul,

But he who is careless of conduct will die.
