those that will not work shall not eat
P3. Proverb. those that will not work shall not eat and variants (now often if you don't work, you don't eat). [Originally in biblical references and allusions, after post-classical Latin si quis non vult operari, nec manducet, lit. ‘if someone does not want to work, he will not eat’ (Vulgate: 2 Thessalonians 3:10) and its model Hellenistic Greek εἴ τις οὐ θέλει ἐργάζεσθαι, μηδὲ ἐσθιέτω (New Testament); compare quots. c1384 and 1535, respectively. Compare Middle French qui ne laeure point ne mengue point (1376).]
