Proverbs 26:15
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
The slacker buries his hand in the dish; it wearies him to bring it back to his mouth.
In context
13 The slacker says, “A lion is in the road! A fierce lion roams the public square!”
14 As a door turns on its hinges, so the slacker turns on his bed.
15 The slacker buries his hand in the dish; it wearies him to bring it back to his mouth.
16 The slacker is wiser in his own eyes than seven men who answer discreetly.
17 Like one who grabs a dog by the ears is a passerby who meddles in a quarrel not his own.
