Sleep Of Sluggards – Proverbs 6:9

9) How long will you lie there, you sluggard?
When will you get up from your sleep?

Proverbs Club Commentary

Sluggards have no desire to succeed.
They sleep, and rest, and wait, and stall.
The Godly are required to be productive.

For even when we were with you,
we gave you this rule:
“The one who is unwilling to work
shall not eat.”
2 Thessalonians 3:10 (NIV)

16) Should your springs overflow in the streets,
your streams of water in the public squares?

Proverbs Club Commentary

Your relations with your spouse must be private and exclusive.
Nobody else should have access to them.
Marital virginity is a requirement.

or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked,

19) None who go to her return
or attain the paths of life.

Proverbs Club Commentary

The adulteress will destroy
whatever innocence you possess.
It can never be recovered.

“You shall not commit adultery.”
Exodus 20:14
