Proverbs 19:24 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

A slothful man— This verse contains a most elegant but hyperbolical description of a man who has given himself up to sloth; who refuses to do things as easy pulling his hand out of his bosom, and as necessary as eating and drinking. See Psalms 74:11.

Proverbs 19:24

24 A slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
