Matthew Poole and continuators on Proverbs 20:4

4 The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold , therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing .

Of the Plowing season, which is in Autumn and towards Winter. He hates and avoids all laborious and difficult work, although his own necessity and interest oblige him to it.

And not obtain an Alms not in that time of Plenty and bounty, because mens Hearts are justly hardned against that Man who by his own sloth and wilfulness hath brought himself to want.
