Exegesis
In the first clause, the noun atzlah {עַצְלָה | ʿaṣ-lāh} ‘laziness’ functions as subject of the Hiphil imperfect tappîl {תַּפִּיל | tappîl} ‘will bring down’, governing the object tardēmāh {תַּרְדֵּמָה | tardēmāh} ‘deep sleep’.
In context — Proverbs 19:15
Laziness will bring on a deep sleep , and an idle soul will go hungry.
