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)

7) It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
8) yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.

Proverbs Club Commentary

Without a leader, ants store food
in one season to consume it in another.

One of my favorite proverbs is not from Proverbs:
Dig a well before you are thirsty.

6) Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!

Proverbs Club Commentary

There are many ants in my yard and garden.
They are indefatigable.
Wise up and study the ant.

5) Free yourself,
like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter,
like a bird from the snare of the fowler.

Proverbs Club Commentary

Fulfill your pledge ASAP to neighbor or stranger.

4) Allow no sleep to your eyes,
no slumber to your eyelids.

Proverbs Club Commentary

If you are committed for something for your neighbor,
do not rest until it is fulfilled.
