sluggard his/its=hand & also/yet to/towards mouth_of,his not bring_~_back,it

A lazy one, his, and he refer to a type of person in general, not a specific person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. See how you translated this A lazy one in [10:26](../10/26.md). Alternate translation: “Any lazy one … that person’s hand … that person will not even return it to that person’s own mouth”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

buries & his/its=hand in/on/at/with,dish

In Solomon’s culture, people usually ate with their hands and put their hands in a dish in order to pick up food and eat it. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “puts his hand in the dish in order to pick up food”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

גַּם־אֶל־פִּ֝֗י⁠הוּ לֹ֣א יְשִׁיבֶֽ⁠נָּה

also/yet to/towards mouth_of,his not bring_~_back,it

Here Solomon implies that A lazy one does not return his hand to his mouth because he is too lazy to do so. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “he is too lazy to even bring his hand up to his mouth to feed himself”
