Commentary on Proverbs 6:11

Theological / Devotional

One that travelleth. As a traveler sets out upon his journey and perseveres until he reaches his goal, so surely will poverty and want come upon the sluggard. Fortunate circumstances, the help of friends and relatives, may postpone the day of reckoning, but it will surely arrive and come with the irresistible force of a skillful warrior in heavy armor.
