Proverbs 26:15
The slacker buries his hand in the dish; it wearies him to bring it back to his mouth.
BSB
ASV
The sluggard burieth his hand in the dish; It wearieth him to bring it again to his mouth.
KJV
The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth.
The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom,.... To keep it warm; Jarchi's note is, "he puts his hand in a hot basin, because of the cold.'' The word (c) for "bosom" does sometimes signify a "pot" or basin.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
