Proverbs 19:15 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.

Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep. Moderate labour sharpens the spirit; idleness dulls it.

And an idle soul (Hebrew, remiss: a soul which soon remits its efforts) shall suffer hunger - in just retribution. So in one's spiritual concerns.
