Provérbios 19:15

15 A preguiça leva ao sono profundo,e o preguiçoso passa fome.

Provérbios 19:15 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 19:15

Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep
Slothful persons are generally sleepy, and are very desirous of sleep, and indulge themselves in it; they spend their time, day and night, in sleep and drowsiness; and are quite careless and unconcerned about either their temporal or eternal good; see ( Proverbs 6:9-11 ) ; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger;
and perish with it, both in a temporal and spiritual sense: an idle person, that will not work, ought not to eat; and an idle soul, or one that is unconcerned about his soul, and the spiritual food of it, shall perish for want of it.

Provérbios 19:15 In-Context

13 O filho tolo é a ruína de seu pai,e a esposa briguentaé como uma goteira constante.
14 Casas e riquezas herdam-se dos pais,mas a esposa prudente vem do SENHOR.
15 A preguiça leva ao sono profundo,e o preguiçoso passa fome.
16 Quem obedece aos mandamentos preserva a sua vida,mas quem despreza os seus caminhos morrerá.
17 Quem trata bem os pobres empresta ao SENHOR,e ele o recompensará.
