Commentary on Proverbs 6:4
The urgency continues with vivid imagery—give no sleep to your eyes until the matter is resolved. This hyperbolic language (common in wisdom literature) emphasizes the gravity of financial bondage. From a Reformed perspective, this reflects the urgency required in dealing with sin and its consequences. Just as we should not rest while in spiritual danger, so we must not delay in addressing entanglements that could lead to ruin. The sovereignty of God over all of life includes vigilant stewardship.
