Introducing the Sluggard

(Pro 6:6 KJV) Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:

Here is the first reference of the “sluggard” (6102) in Proverbs. Solomon will return to this several times. The sluggard is lazy. Notice that the Bible is not politically correct or worried about people having proper self-esteem. The Bible does not lest courtesy and kindness trump honesty and openness about serious defects in our character. Laziness, as we will see, is a serious defect. It ruins lives and by extension it ruins society.
