“Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:”
Proverbs 6:10 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 6:10
A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest - this deceptive rationalization minimizes laziness. The Hebrew diminutives ('a little...a little...a little') suggest that sloth justifies itself through incremental indulgence. 'Just five more minutes' repeated becomes chronic delay. The folded hands imagery portrays rest posture when work is required. Small compromises compound into large failures.
