NETBible

The sluggard plunges¹ his hand in the dish, and he will not even bring it back to his mouth!²

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “buries” (so many English versions); KJV “hideth”; NAB “loses.”

²sn This humorous portrayal is an exaggeration; but the point is that laziness can overcome hunger. It would have a wider application for anyone who would start a project and then lack the interest or energy to finish it (R. N. Whybray, Proverbs [CBC], 111). Ibn Ezra proposes that the dish was empty, because the sluggard was too lazy to provide for himself.
