But the book of Proverbs explores many of God's core commandments. Adultery, commitment, discipline to name a few. I guess laziness takes the cake for being the strangest so far.
The characteristic and aspects of a lazy man and his life are as follows.
Proverbs 6:6-11
Go to the ant, you sluggard. Consider it's ways and be wise! It has no commander, overseer or ruler. Yet it stores it's provisions in summer and gathers it's food at harvest.
Although an ant can be a pain in the butt with their bites, stings and foul stench. They are the prime example of of diligence. They don't abandon fallen comrades, they don't give up, they'll find new ways to solve their problems. They are also not as fussy as us. Tehy'll eat everything from bugs to sugar, dung to potato chips. They'll even form a raft with their own bodies to cross rivers for new territories.

Proverbs 10:26
As vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes, So is the lazy man to those who send him.
You'll fins it hard if you ask a couch potato to do a job. You'll end up with an imperfect job or worse, nothing at all. A lazy man is a troublemaker and burdens not benefits. Which is similar to sin.
Proverbs 22:13
The lazy man says "There is a lion outside, I shall be slain the streets"
A lazy man is good for nothing. Yet he has one talent, making excuses. Not necessarily lousy excuses. Some people are really good at it.
Proverbs 24:30-31
I went past the field of the sluggard, past the vineyard of the man who lacks judgement. Thorns had come up everywhere, the ground was covered with reeds and the stone wall was in ruins.
A lazy man lacks judgement and his life is poorly maintained and everything is a big mess. The fruits of his garden are sour if there are any due to lack of watering or fertiliser.
That's all folks...
