Ben Sira 22:2

2 A slothful man is compared to the filth of a dunghill; every man that takes it up will shake his hand.

Ben Sira 22:2 In-Context

1 A slothful man is compared to a filthy stone, and every one will hiss him out to his disgrace.

2 A slothful man is compared to the filth of a dunghill; every man that takes it up will shake his hand.

3 An evil-nurtured man is the dishonor of his father that begot him, and a foolish daughter is born to his loss.

4 A wise daughter shall bring an inheritance to her husband, but she that liveth dishonestly is her father's heaviness.

5 She that is bold dishonoreth both her father and her husband, but they both shall despise her.
