When things go wrong because he ignores responsibility, he will often save face by placing the blame for any problems on others. Responsibilities are subtly or blatantly passed on to others, adding extra burdens to their own responsibilities. In some cases, it is a matter of doing the sloths responsibilities or perish. We will see the truth of this in some of the scriptures that follow. Slothfulness causes one to fall into a deep sleep.
Spiritual slothfulness is even worse than temporal slothfulness.
A slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again. Because there is no food in it. The slothful man suffers hunger, and it is not just a hunger in his stomach. Like the prodigal, he glutted himself on what he wanted to do - having fun, and sometimes with riotous living. Eventually the food runs out, and he has nothing to put in his mouth.
