Musar su Proverbi 20:4

מֵ֭חֹרֶף עָצֵ֣ל לֹא־יַחֲרֹ֑שׁ ישאל [וְשָׁאַ֖ל] בַּקָּצִ֣יר וָאָֽיִן׃

Il pigro non arerà quando l'inverno si insedia; perciò supplicherà nel raccolto e non avrà nulla.

Orchot Tzadikim

And what is the seventh trait? As it is said, "The sluggard will not plow, when winter setteth in" (Prov. 20:4). Rabbi Simon, the son of Yohai said, "This refers to one who did not study Torah in his youth and wants to study when he is old — he will be unable to do so. That is what is meant by, "He shall beg in harvest, and have nothing" (ibid.).
