Proverbs 19:15
King James VersionSource notes
“Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.”
Context
12The king’s wrath as the roaring of a lion; but his favour as dew upon the grass.
13A foolish son the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife a continual dropping.
14House and riches the inheritance of fathers and a prudent wife from the LORD.
15Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
16He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; he that despiseth his ways shall die.
17He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.
18Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.
