This site's exposition

The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing

on Proverbs 13:4-6

The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing states the sluggard's whole problem in one line, wanting without working, while the diligent soul is made fat by the labor the sluggard refuses. A righteous man hates lying and a wicked man is called loathsome for the shame it brings him, and the cluster closes on the same guard-and-guide image the book uses often: righteousness keeps the upright in his way, while wickedness overthrows the sinner it seemed to serve.
