Proverbs 19:15
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Laziness brings on deep sleep, and an idle soul will suffer hunger.
In context
13 A foolish son is his father’s ruin, and a quarrelsome wife is like a constant dripping.
14 Houses and wealth are inherited from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the LORD.
15 Laziness brings on deep sleep, and an idle soul will suffer hunger.
16 He who keeps a commandment preserves his soul, but he who is careless in his ways will die.
17 Kindness to the poor is a loan to the LORD, and He will repay the lender.
