This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The slothful man; or, the deceitful man, as Pro_12:24, who seeks to enrich himself by fraudulent and unjust practices.
Roasteth not that which he took in hunting; doth not enjoy the fruit of his labours or devices, either because he doth not labour, and so hath nothing to waste or enjoy; or because God ofttimes deprives him either of such ill-gotten goods, or at least of a quiet and comfortable fruition of them.
Is precious; yields him great comfort and satisfaction, partly because it abides with him, and partly because he hath God’s favour and blessing with it.
