'Hands' in the Bible

“Yet a little sleep, a little slumber,A little folding of the hands to lie down and rest”—

A proud look [the attitude that makes one overestimate oneself and discount others], a lying tongue,And hands that shed innocent blood,

A man will be satisfied with good from the fruit of his words,And the deeds of a man’s hands will return to him [as a harvest].

A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children,And the wealth of the sinner is stored up for [the hands of] the righteous.

The wise woman builds her house [on a foundation of godly precepts, and her household thrives],But the foolish one [who lacks spiritual insight] tears it down with her own hands [by ignoring godly principles].

The desire of the lazy kills him,For his hands refuse to labor;

Do not be among those who give pledges [involving themselves in others’ finances],Or among those who become guarantors for others’ debts.

“Yet a little sleep, a little slumber,A little folding of the hands to rest [and daydream],”

You may grasp the lizard with your hands,Yet it is in kings’ palaces.

She looks for wool and flaxAnd works with willing hands in delight.

She stretches out her hands to the distaff,And her hands hold the spindle [as she spins wool into thread for clothing].

She opens and extends her hand to the poor,And she reaches out her filled hands to the needy.

Give her of the product of her hands,And let her own works praise her in the gates [of the city].
