Proverbi 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.

Proverbi 19:15 In-Context

13 Il figliuolo stolto è una grande sciagura a suo padre; E le risse della moglie sono un gocciolar continuo.
14 Casa e sostanza sono l’eredità de’ padri; Ma dal Signore viene la moglie prudente.
15 La pigrizia fa cadere in profondo sonno; E la persona negligente avrà fame.
16 Chi osserva il comandamento guarda l’anima sua; Ma chi trascura le sue vie morrà.
17 Chi dona al povero presta al Signore; Ed egli gli farà la sua retribuzione.
