“Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase. by labour: Heb. with the hand”
Proverbs 13:11 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 13:11
Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished, but he that gathers by labor shall increase. Ill-gotten wealth (hebel - vapor, vanity) dissipates quickly; honestly earned wealth grows. The verse distinguishes between legitimate and illegitimate wealth acquisition. Shortcuts to riches (gambling, fraud, get-rich-quick schemes) lead to loss. Patient, honest labor builds lasting wealth. The principle: means matter, not just ends.
