King Solomon was a man of action, especially in his youth.
所罗门王年轻时是一个行动派。

His troubles came when he became older and slower.

We all like to rest, me more than most!!!
我们都喜欢休息，我比大多数人更喜欢！！！

But we do not want rest to lead us to become lazy.
但我们不希望休息让我们变得懒惰。

Rest comes from hard work; laziness is the irresponsible act of avoiding work. Amen.
休息来源于努力工作；懒惰是逃避工作的不负责任行为。阿门。

In the Book of Proverbs, the “sluggard” is a person who shuns hard work and seeks a life of ease and comfort.
在《箴言》中，“懒惰人”是指逃避努力工作、追求安逸和舒适生活的人。

There is a little sluggard that lives inside each of us, and if we are not careful, that sluggard will rob us of the motivation and discipline we need to do the job that is set before us.
我们每个人内心都有一个小小的懒惰人，如果我们不小心，这个懒惰人会夺走我们完成眼前工作的动力和纪律。

King Solomon gives 4 examples of how a person who is lazy reacts and he likens them to some everyday objects.
所罗门王举了四个例子，说明懒惰人的反应，并将他们比作一些日常事物。

Indeed, the person who is lazy, won’t even eat and feed him or herself.
的确，懒惰的人甚至不愿意吃饭喂养自己。

You know we often say let’s take a rest and then it lasts one day then goes on and on and on, until we become virtually dormant and dead in our feelings and actions.
你知道，我们常说休息一下，然后休息一天，接连不断，直到我们在情感和行动上几乎变得停滞和死气沉沉。

There is no excuse to be a sluggard…let’s call laziness what it is and never make any excuse for sitting on our hands…remember the devil has work for idle hands.
做懒惰人没有任何借口……让我们直呼懒惰的本质，绝不为自己袖手旁观找借口……记住，魔鬼为闲散的手准备了工作。

David was lazy, he was at ease with himself, and we all know what happened to him, don’t we?
大卫懒惰了，他让自己安逸，我们都知道他发生了什么事，对吧？
