Proverbs 15:19

Adam Clarke
Bible Commentary

The way of the slothful man is as a hedge of thorns - Because he is slothful, he imagines ten thousand difficulties in the way which cannot be surmounted; but they are all the creatures of his own imagination, and that imagination is formed by his sloth.

Albert Barnes
Notes on the Whole Bible

The slothful goes on his journey, and for him the path is thick set with thorns, briars, fences, through which he cannot force his way. For the “righteous” (better, upright), the same path is as the broad raised causeway of the king‘s highway. Compare Isaiah 40:3.

Ellen G. White
Our High Calling, 222.1

The way of the slothful man is an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made plain. Proverbs 15:19. OHC 222.1
