The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; bringing it back to his mouth wears him out.
In context
13The sluggard says, “There is a lion on the road! A lion in the squares!” 14A door turns on its hinge, and the sluggard on his bed. 15The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; bringing it back to his mouth wears him out. 16The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes than seven men who answer with good sense. 17Like grabbing a passing dog by the ears is a man who flares up over a quarrel that is not his.
