Proverbs 15:19. The Hedge of Thorns and the Plain Way

by Charles Spurgeon

Modern English translation available

This classic exposition examines the striking contrast between spiritual sloth and godly diligence. Using vivid biblical imagery, it reveals how the idle person entangles themselves in a thicket of self-inflicted difficulty, painful delays, and endless excuses. Conversely, the righteous path is presented as a clear, unobstructed road marked by progress and divine favor. With characteristic wit and deep theological insight, this work serves as a powerful exhortation to abandon apathy and embrace a life of purposeful faith. It is an essential read for anyone seeking to overcome obstacles through disciplined devotion.
