John Gill, on Prov 23:21
John Gill · 1697–1771
Prov 23:21 · Douay-Rheims
“Because they that give themselves to drinking, and that club together shall be consumed; and drowsiness shall be clothed with rags.”
On this verse:
“For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty,.... They consuming their substance upon their bellies, in eating and drinking; see Pro 21:17; and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags; excessive eating and drinking brings drowsiness on men, unfits them for business, and makes them idle and slothful; and spending all on their bellies, they have nothing for their backs, and are clothed in rags; see Pro 24:33.”
