Lazy Wives
14
Fathers can give their sons an inheritance of houses and wealth,
but only the Lord can give an understanding wife.
15
Lazy people sleep soundly,
but idleness leaves them hungry.
16
Keep the commandments and keep your life;
despising them leads to death.
Verse 14
This man has a wise wife and careful parents.
His parents have saved money to provide for him. His wife is the gift of God.
This man has a good life, because of his wise wife and wise parents. Parents can provide houses and wealth. But only God can give a wise wife to the man.
Material things like houses and money can be inherited, but only God can provide a wise spouse. Sadly, most couples rely on their emotions to choose a partner instead of asking God
Verse 15
This man is too lazy. He is still asleep. He must awake and work. Otherwise, he will be hungry. See Proverbs 6:6-11.
This verse warns against laziness. God made us to work, not to be idle. But don't confuse exhaustion with laziness. Sometimes we try to do too much and end up worn out. Our bodies have limits.
Verse 16
This verse briefly explains Deuteronomy 28. If we obey God’s law, then God will help us. If we do not obey, then we shall suffer.
However, everyone does evil things. (See Romans 3:23.) So we must ask God to forgive us (Acts 17:30-31). God forgives us, because Jesus suffered our punishment (Acts 3:18).
This verse warns us not to ignore or look down on God's commands. Doing so leads to our own ruin. Instead, study the Scriptures to learn how God wants us to live.
Let me ask you: Are you always tired? Do you stay up late watching TV? Our bodies need rest. Are you doing too many things to try to win God's approval? Do you have to work extra because you spend too much on things like alcohol, cigarettes, or the lottery? Do you spend too much to impress others?
