Proverbes 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.

Proverbes 19:15 In-Context

13 Un enfant insensé est un grand malheur pour son père; et les querelles d'une femme sont une gouttière continuelle.
14 Une maison et des richesses sont l'héritage venu des pères; mais une femme prudente est un don de l'Éternel.
15 La paresse produit l'assoupissement, et l'âme paresseuse aura faim.
16 Celui qui garde le commandement, garde son âme; mais celui qui ne veille pas sur ses voies, mourra.
17 Celui qui a pitié du pauvre, prête à l'Éternel, et il lui rendra son bienfait.
