Commentary on Proverbs 10:5
Theological / DevotionalSleepeth. Heb. radam, the word for heavy sleep, not for mere dozing. A lazy son is a shame at any time, but indolence in harvest time is so utterly inexcusable that it brings contempt upon both son and father. The folly of sleep in time of crisis is even more tragic when spiritual matters are in question. To wake up and realize that the opportunity for salvation is past will force from human lips the saddest words ever to be uttered, “The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved” (Jer. 8:20).
