Commentary on Proverbs 6:11
Poverty comes as a traveler and want as an armed man - the consequences of sloth arrive inevitably and forcefully. The Hebrew 'mehalak' (traveler/wayfarer) suggests steady approach, while 'magen' (armed man/warrior) indicates forceful arrival. Poverty doesn't come violently but arrives inexorably. The fool doesn't see it coming because decline is gradual. When recognized, it's too late - poverty arrives with warrior's force, difficult to resist.
