PROVERBS 10:4 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
Prov 10:3Prov 10:5
He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.
Laziness and diligence: Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth. The contrast between lazy (remiyya) and diligent (chamudah) hands indicates that human conduct shapes material outcome. Laziness leads to poverty; diligence to prosperity. This is not arbitrary but reflects the reality that work is required to sustain life. The lazy person's lack of initiative directly produces scarcity. The diligent person's engagement with work produces abundance.
