²⁴ Lazy people take food in their hand but don't even lift it to their mouth.

²⁴ A sluggard buries his hand in the dish; he will not even bring it back to his mouth!

²⁴ A lazy man buries his hand in the bowl, And will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.

²⁴ A slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
