The sluggard does not plow after the autumn, So he begs during the harvest and has nothing.GOD'S WORD® Translation (©1995)
A lazy person does not plow in the fall. He looks for something in the harvest but finds nothing. King James Bible
The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing. Jump to Previous Occurrence

Autumn Beg Begs Cold Finds Food Grain-Cutting Harvest Hater Looks Plough Plougheth Ploughing Plow Reason Requesting Season Seek Slothful Sluggard Time Winter Work Matthew Henry's Whole Bible Commentary Verse 4 See here the evil of slothfulness and the love of ease. 1. It keeps men from the most necessary business, from ploughing and sowing when the season is: The sluggard has ground to occupy, and has ability for it; he can plough, but he will not; some excuse or other he has to shift it off, but the true reason is that it is cold weather. Though ploughing time is not in the depth of winter, it is in the borders of winter, when he thinks it too cold for him to be abroad. Those are scandalously sluggish who, in the way of their business, cannot find in their hearts to undergo so little toil as that of ploughing and so little hardship as that of a cold blast. Thus careless are many in the affairs of their souls; a trifling difficulty will frighten them from the most important duty; but good soldiers must endure hardness. 2. Thereby it deprives them of the most necessary supports: Those that will not plough in seed-time cannot expect to reap in harvest; and therefore they must beg their bread with astonishment when the diligent are bringing home their sheaves with joy. He that will not submit to the labour of ploughing must submit to the shame of begging. They shall beg in harvest, and yet have nothing; no, not then when there is great plenty. Though it may be charity to relieve sluggards, yet a man may, in justice, not relieve them; they deserve to be left to starve. Those that would not provide oil in their vessels begged when the bridegroom came, and were denied.
