The fool folds his hands
and eats his own flesh.
By refusing to force his hands to work, the fool's hand is forced.
Avoiding hard work invites hard decisions.
If your belly cannot motivate you to work for food, it will motivate you to reconsider what you're willing to eat.
Proverbs 27:7
The full soul loatheth an honeycomb;
but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.
A famished fool will count a bitter herb better than nothing. He will call it sweet because it is something. The dissatisfied soul would rather drink poison than be thirsty.
2 Thessalonians 3:10-11
For even when we were with you, we would give you this command: If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat. For we hear that some among you walk in idleness, not busy at work, but busybodies.
If you are not willing to do honest work for lawful food you will find dishonest ways to acquire anything to fill your belly.
