Footnotes
- 26 The Book of Fools covered vv. 1–12. This marks the beginning of what may be called the Book of Sluggards (vv. 13–16).
- 27 Heb “in the broad plazas”; , “in the square.” This proverb makes the same point as 22:13, namely, that the sluggard uses absurd excuses to get out of work. D. Kidner notes that in this situation the sluggard has probably convinced himself that he is a realist and not a lazy person (Proverbs [], ).
