Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and the idle soul shall suffer hunger.
Clarke's Proverbs 19:15 Bible Commentary
Into a deep sleep - תרדמה tardemah, the same into which Adam was thrown, before Eve was taken from his side. Sloth renders a man utterly unconscious of all his interests. Though he has frequently felt hunger, yet he is regardless that his continual slothfulness must necessarily plunge him into more sufferings.
Barnes's Proverbs 19:15 Bible Commentary
Casteth into a deep sleep - Better, causeth deep sleep to fall.
Wesley's Proverbs 19:15 Bible Commentary
19:15 Casteth - Makes a man careless, and like one asleep in his business.
