520 B

The lazy one puts his hand into the dish and yet he has no strength to lift it up to his mouth

The extreme laziness of the person is shown by his putting his hand into the dish for food and then just leaving it there. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-hyperbole) The first part of the sentence is equivalent to Proverbs Proverbs 19:23

The lazy person is wiser in his own eyes than seven men with discernment

AT: "The lazy person thinks he is wiser than 7 men who can give a reason"
