Commentary on Proverbs 10:4
Diligence in labor reflects faithful stewardship of God-given opportunities and abilities. The 'slack hand' indicates not merely poverty but moral failure—lazy neglect of covenant responsibility. The diligent hand brings wealth not through greed but through responsible industry, fulfilling the creation mandate to subdue the earth (Genesis 1:28).
