15 Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep. The idle soul shall suffer hunger.
15 Laziness brings on deep sleep; an idle person will suffer hunger.(A)
24 The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; he will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
24 The lazy person buries a hand in the dish and will not even bring it back to the mouth.(A)
