Proverbs 10:26 - Homilies By E. Johnson

The lazy man a nuisance

I. HE IRRITATES HIS EMPLOYERS . The images of the teeth set on edge, the blinded, smarting eyes, give the thought with great force and great naivete.

II. HE IS WORSE THAN USELESS . The Bible shows a great aversion from idleness, sluggishness ( Proverbs 6:6 , seqq .; Proverbs 12:27 ; Proverbs 19:24 ; Proverbs 22:13 ).

1 . Laziness is a vice and the parent of worse.

2 . The swift discharge of duty is acceptable to God and man.—J.
