The Sluggard in Scripture
couch potato, deadbeat, do-nothing, loafer, slouch, slug, malingerer, shirker, slacker, bum
 Note: The very first reference sets the entire scene because the Holy Spirit set the first mention of sluggard in Proverbs 6:6. We see a characteristic of man in the two single digits of the number 6, and don’t just shrug this off as incidental. Six (6) is the number of man, and two (2) is the number of witness, therefore, we have a witness of a specific trait in mankind in the word ‘sluggard.’ You might even recognize someone you know in the six (6) references. Oh, yes, you will also discover that the word sluggard is only mentioned six (6) times in the entire Bible.
Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: (Proverbs 6:6)
  The sluggard is compared to a mere insect, he has much that he can learn from the insect. The lowly insect has more understanding than the sluggard.
How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep? (Proverbs 6:9)
Not much to be added here.
As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so [is] the sluggard to them that send him. (Proverbs 10:26)
  Whenever the sluggard is employed or charged with responsibility he becomes an irritant, an aggravation, and because of experiences with sluggards, I can state that the only thing that they work at is to deliberately be an irritant.
The soul of the sluggard desireth, and [hath] nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat. (Proverbs 13:4)
  The sluggard is very envious and proud. He desires and craves what others have who have been diligent in their work; he is above all who labor.
The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; [therefore] shall he beg in harvest, and [have] nothing. (Proverbs 20:4)
  The sluggard not only refuses to work in the cold, but he won’t work in the heat either; in fact, he refuses to work in all climates. The sluggard always has a reason and an excuse for his poverty.
The sluggard [is] wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason. (Proverbs 26:16)
  The sluggard is the only wise person in the room. He knows more about everything then anyone else. He knows how to do everything better and smarter then anyone else. He loves to control the narrative on how everything should be built, paid for, and accomplished. And because he has accomplished nothing in his existence, he is, therefore, better qualified to make decisions.
