Proverbs 12:27 The slothful man roasts not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious. Thomson wrote a poem by this title. He locates the castle in a dreamy land, where every sense is steeped in the most luxurious though enervating delights. The lord of the castle was a powerful enchanter, who, by his arts, enticed thoughtless travellers within the gate, that he might destroy their strength and ruin their hopes by a ceaseless round of voluptuous pleasures. Parallel Verses KJV: The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious.WEB: The slothful man doesn't roast his game, but the possessions of diligent men are prized. |
