15 The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth.
15 A sluggard buries his hand in the dish; he is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth.
16 The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.
16 A sluggard is wiser in his own eyes than seven people who answer discreetly.
