Proverbs 20:13 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Love not sleep, i.e. immoderate sleep, or sloth, or idleness. Take sleep because necessity requires it, not from any love to it. Open thine eyes; awake out of sleep, shake off sloth, and betake thyself to thy employment with diligence and rigour.

Proverbs 20:13

13 Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.
