A lazy person is always in a kitchen and is always lying on a sofa waiting to be brought something to eat because neither food they like to look. They always want to be comfortable.

Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.

Proverbs 19:15

    The reason of laziness sometimes is a malfunction of the body organism, maybe a sickness which ought to be treated by a doctor. The body, the mind of a lazy person needs help to solve their problem. Solomon does not advice us about what to do to get out of such a bad situation.

    People whose minds are affected by laziness, in general are not able to solve their problem by themselves. It does not matter to them to think about their lives, nor their bad situation.
