“How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?”
Proverbs 6:9 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 6:9
How long will you sleep, O sluggard? When will you arise out of your sleep? The rhetorical questions mock the sluggard's excessive sleep and aversion to work. Sleep here represents not legitimate rest but slothful avoidance of responsibility. The questions imply indefinite postponement - there's always tomorrow, never today. This exposes procrastination's deceptive pattern - delayed obedience eventually becomes disobedience.
