2 Thess. 3:10--MH + Present Imperative = Stop That?

Dear B-Greekers,

I am still wrestling with the significance of present imperatives. One
such example is 2 Thess. 3:10:

EI TIS OU QELEI ERGAZESQAI MHDE ESQIETW.

Can this verse rightfully be translated as a command to stop doing a
certain action? I.e., "if anyone isn't willing to work, let him STOP
eating."

Thanks,
