Proverbs21:25
25 The desire of the slothful killeth him: for his hands refuse to labour.
Either 1. Tormenteth him almost to death, whilst he passionately desires that which he sees he shall not enjoy, and will not take pains to procure. Or 2. Exposeth him to extream want, and so to death, or so such wicked courses for the supply of his wants, as bring him to an untimely death.
