Proverbs12:27

27. The slothful man rosteth not that which he took in hunting : but the substance of a diligent man is precious .

Or, The deceitful man, as v. 24. who seeks to enrich himself by fraudulent and unjust practices.

Doth not enjoy the fruit of his Labours or devices, either because he doth not labour, and so hath nothing to waste or enjoy; or because God oft times deprives him either of such ill-gotten goods, or at least of a quiet and comfortable fruition of them.

Yields him great comfort and satisfaction, partly because it abides with him, and partly because he hath Gods Favour and blessing with it.
