Proverbs 19:15

Sloth — deep, habitual laziness — is presented as a kind of stupor: it casts a person into heavy sleep, disconnecting them from the responsibilities of life. The consequence is not symbolic but literal: the idle soul suffers hunger. Laziness is not harmless; it has real material consequences. Work is a gift and a calling, not a curse.

Memory phrase: Lazy people go hungry.

Talk about it: What happens to someone who is always too lazy to work?

Prayer: God, help me work hard and not be lazy.
