ગુજરાતીનીતિવચનો ૨૧:૨૫
આળસુની ભૂખ જ તેને મારી નાખે છે, કારણ કે તેના હાથ કામ કરવાની ના પાડે છે.
हिन्दीनीतिवचन २१:२५
आलसी अपनी लालसा ही में मर जाता है, क्योंकि उसके हाथ काम करने से इन्कार करते हैं।

In context

23Whoever guards his mouth and his tongue keeps his soul from troubles.

24The proud and arrogant man—“Scoffer” is his name— he works in the arrogance of pride.

25The desire of the sluggard kills him, for his hands refuse to labor.

26There are those who covet greedily all day long; but the righteous give and don’t withhold.

27The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination— how much more, when he brings it with a wicked mind!
