Proverbs 21:25,26 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

The desire of the slothful killeth him Torments him almost to death, while he passionately desires that which he sees he shall not enjoy, and will not take pains to procure. He coveteth greedily all the day long Spends his whole time in vain and lazy desires, but will not labour to gain any thing, either to use himself, or to give to others. But the righteous giveth, and spareth not By God's blessing upon his industry he procures enough not only for his own support, but also for the liberal relief of others.

Proverbs 21:25-26

25 The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labour.

26 He coveteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous giveth and spareth not.
