In the streets refers to the main squares or plazas of a city!
In the Passion Translation found in Proverbs 28:15 "Ruthless rulers can only be compared to raging lions and roaming bears." "Abusive leaders fail to employ wisdom, but leaders who despise corruption will enjoy a long and full life.
A sloth man is the lazy man. They see the changes in their city and even neighborhood but do nothing to change it. They never vote thinking their vote will not count. They complain to the high heavens about the injustice but stay put in their easy chair.
Proverbs 19: 15 Laziness casts one into a deep sleep. And an idle person will suffer hunger.
Slothfulness will cause you to sleep when you should be working.. There is a tragedy in idleness. Proverbs 24:30 I went by the filed of the lazy man, and by the vineyard of the man devoid of understanding; 31 And there it was, all overgrown with thorns; Its surface was covered with nettles; Its stone wall was broken down. 32 When I say it, I considered it well; I looked on it and received instruction: 33 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest; 34 So shall your poverty come like a prowler, and your need like an armed man.
We are warned in 1 John 2:15-16 to not love the world of Satan's creation because it is a huge reservoir of influences to accomplish our own ambitions and not God’s plan. The Pharisee was blinded & his spiritual condition suffered. He could not see God nor hear His voice! He did not recognize that the kingdom had come to him! Jeremiah 49:16 “Your fierceness has deceived you, the pride of your heart, O you who dwell in the clefts of the rock who hold the height of the hill! Though you make your nest as high as the eagle, I will bring you down from there,” says the LORD. One of pride's most destructive fruits is self-deception. It is that blindness to one's own spiritual condition. It strongly tends to produce a sense of infallibility, Innerrancy, or unreliability
Passion Translation Proverbs 19:24 There are some people who pretend they are hurt----deadbeats who will not even work to feed themselves.
Hebrews 5:13 for everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. Those slothful in their attitude of hearing have a hard time!
Saw a man pull out an easy chair in the Gaze Strip when it was bombed. People told to leave the area but no, they were taking their "Chances" in this ruins of Gaza. Today there are hundreds with their big pans all in line for FOOD! Told to leave so clean up can begin....no those leaving in the ruins will stay until pushed out. Sad! Many today here in America do the same. They like their way of living and doing! Leave for an area that is growing in the seed of God's WORD. Go to where you are embraced for your love of God and not by how much you own. Remember God loves you and so do WE!
Continue to read and pray the word of God. Continue to walk in the light of Him. Keep your eyes on the Lord and know He has called you out not to be a wimp but a lion who walks in His ways that are everlasting! Amen.
