Matthew Henry Commentary Proverbs 26:14

"[As] the door turneth upon its hinges, So doth the sluggard upon his bed." — Proverbs 26:14 (ASV)

Having seen the slothful man in fear of his work, here we find him in love with his ease. Bodily ease is the sad occasion of many spiritual diseases. He does not care to make progress in his responsibilities. Slothful professing Christians act in this way. The world and the flesh are the hinges on which they turn; and though they engage in a routine of outward religious observances, they are still no closer to heaven.
