24:23-34 This addendum to the thirty sayings of the wise (22:17–24:22) includes five further sayings.

TTNTyndale Theme Notes:

Laziness and Hard Work

God created Adam and Eve and put them in the Garden to tend it, not just to sit back and enjoy it (Gen 2:15). Work is not a result of the Fall but rather is a dignified and important part of creation.

The book of Proverbs frequently condemns laziness. The lazy are sarcastically compared to a door that swings back and forth (26:14), and they are lampooned for their empty excuses (e.g., 22:13). Proverbs equates lazy people with the foolish; their lack of productivity leads to poverty and death (6:6-10; 10:26; 15:19; 18:9; 19:15, 24; 20:4; 21:25; 22:13; 24:30-34; 26:13-16). By contrast, diligent people are seen as wise; their activities lead to wealth and life (10:4-6; 12:11; 13:4; 20:13; 31:10-27).

While it is true that ultimate meaning and fulfillment do not come from hard work (Eccl 2:17-26), and that our hard work must not cause us to forget God’s ability to provide (see Ps 127:2), we still have no excuse to be lazy. God designed us to use the gifts and abilities he has given us to be productive and to provide, as we are able, for ourselves and others (see Eph 4:28; 1 Thes 4:11-12; 2 Thes 3:6-13).
