Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See the Proverbs 6:11 note.


Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

Yet a little sleep, a little slumber,.... The sight of the field and vineyard of the slothful put Solomon in mind of an observation he had made before, which fitly describes the disposition and gesture of the sluggard, by which means his field and vineyard came to ruin; while he should be up and tilling his field and planting his vineyard, he is in his bed; and awaking, instead of rising, craves for and indulges himself in another little doze, and which he repeats again and again;

a little folding of the hands to sleep; which ought to have been employed another way; See Gill on Proverbs 6:10.


Geneva Study Bible

Yet a little sleep, {l} a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:

(l) Read Geneva Pr 6:10


Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

24:30-34. See what a blessing the husbandman's calling is, and what a wilderness this earth would be without it. See what great difference there is in the management even of worldly affairs. Sloth and self-indulgence are the bane of all good. When we see fields overgrown with thorns and thistles, and the fences broken down, we see an emblem of the far more deplorable state of many souls. Every vile affection grows in men's hearts; yet they compose themselves to sleep. Let us show wisdom by doubling our diligence in every good thing.


Proverbs 6:10 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest--
Proverbs 19:15 Laziness brings on deep sleep, and the shiftless man goes hungry.
Proverbs 20:13 Do not love sleep or you will grow poor; stay awake and you will have food to spare.
Proverbs 24:32 I applied my heart to what I observed and learned a lesson from what I saw:
Proverbs 24:34 and poverty will come on you like a bandit and scarcity like an armed man.
Ecclesiastes 4:5 The fool folds his hands and ruins himself.
