Proverbs 21:25 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Killeth him - He wastes his strength and life in unsatisfied longings for something which he has not energy to gain. The wish to do great or good things may sometimes be taken for the deed, but if the hindrance is from a man’s own sloth, it does but add to his condemnation.

Proverbs 21:25

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