Examples of this sin we have in Esau, who spent all his time in hunting, which should have been employed in the duties of his calling. In the Sodomites, who spent their wealth in pride and pleasures, eating and drinking, idleness and luxuriousness, and wholly neglected the relief of the poor. Ezech. 16. 49. In the Idol shepherds, who fleeced their 1sheep, and fed upon the milk, but did not feed the flock, Ezech. 34. 2. And in the evil servant, who seized upon the reward due to the steward, and spent it in eating and drinking, but neglected the duties which he owed, both to his master and the family. Mat. 24. 49. 50.2
