In Proverbs 20:4; the Lazy will not plow for various reasons. Charles Spurgeon said: “Suppose it were not cold; do’ you know what he would say? ‘Oh, it is so hot! I cannot plow; the perspiration runs down my cheeks. You wouldn’t have me plowing this hot weather, would you?’ Supposing it were neither hot nor cold, why, then he would say, I believe, that it rained; and if it didn’t rain, he would say the ground was too dry, for a bad excuse, he holds, is better than none; and therefore he will keep on making excuses to the end of the chapter; anything will he do rather than go and do the work he does not like – that is, plowing.”
