The Slothful Man

Proverbs 15:19 The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made plain. 

‘The way of the slothful man is as a hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made plain.’ A lazy man imagines many obstructions in the way, but the righteous see none.

Romans 12:11 warns us not to be slothful (Heb. 6:12) in business but fervent in spirit.

Eighteen facts about the slothful: They are unteachable, careless, and indifferent (6:6-9). They love excessive sleep (9:9; 19:15; 24:33). They are irritating to others (10:26). They are servants to others (12:24). They are too lazy to cook food (12:27). They are wishful thinkers (13:4; 24:34). They have a life full of troubles (15:19). They are great wasters (18:9). They are lazy (19:24; 24:30-34; 26:14-15). They refuse to work (20:4; 21:25). They make the most senseless excuses for their laziness (22:13; 26:13). They are void of understanding (24:30). They permit property to ruin (24:31-34; Eccl. 10:18). They are too lazy to move themselves (26:14). They are conceited (26:16). They are unfaithful to trust (Matt. 25:26). They are unbelievers (Heb. 6:12). They lack business ability (Rom. 12:11).
