SEV Biblia, Chapter 19:15
¶ La pereza hace caer en sueño; y el alma negligente hambreará.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 19:15
Verse 15. Into a deep sleep ] hmdrt tardemah, the same into which Adam was thrown, before Eve was taken from his side. Sloth renders a man utterly unconscious of all his interests. Though he has frequently felt hunger, yet he is regardless that his continual slothfulness must necessarily plunge him into more sufferings.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 15. Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep , etc.] Slothful persons are generally sleepy, and are very desirous of sleep, and indulge themselves in it; they spend their time, day and night, in sleep and drowsiness; and are quite careless and unconcerned about either their temporal or eternal good; (see Proverbs 6:9-11); and an idle soul shall suffer hunger ; and perish with it, both in a temporal and spiritual sense: an idle person, that will not work, ought not to eat; and an idle soul, or one that is unconcerned about his soul, and the spiritual food of it, shall perish for want of it.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 15 - A sluggish, slothful disposition makes men poor; it brings them to want. And this applies both to the present life and that which is to come.
