Proverbs 19:24
_ _ bosom — literally, a wide dish in which the hand was plunged in eating (Matthew 26:23). Compare Proverbs 26:15, the sentiment expressed with equal irony and less exaggeration. |
Proverbs 19:24
_ _ A sluggard is here exposed as a fool, for, 1. All his care is to save himself from labour and cold. See his posture: He hides his hand in his bosom, pretends he is lame and cannot work; his hands are cold, and he must warm them in his bosom; and, when they are warm there, he must keep them so. He hugs himself in his own ease and is resolved against labour and hardship. Let those work that love it; for his part he thinks there is no such fine life as sitting still and doing nothing. 2. He will not be at the pains to feed himself, an elegant hyperbole; as we say, A man is so lazy that he would not shake fire off him, so here, He cannot find in his heart to take his hand out of his bosom, no, not to put meat into his own mouth. If the law be so that those that will not labour must not eat, he will rather starve than stir. Thus his sin is his punishment, and therefore is egregious folly. |
Proverbs 19:24
Bring it — To feed himself; he expects that the meat should drop into his mouth. |

Proverbs 15:19 The way of the slothful [ man is] as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous [ is] made plain.
Proverbs 24:30- 34 I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding; ... So shall thy poverty come [ as] one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man.
Proverbs 26:13- 16 The slothful [ man] saith, [ There is] a lion in the way; a lion [ is] in the streets. ... The sluggard [ is] wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.
