Proverbs 10:4 - Lazy hands make a man poor

Lazy hands make a man poor, but diligent hands bring wealth.

He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.

Poor is he who works with a negligent hand, But the hand of the diligent makes rich.

Proverbs 10:4

Commentary

Poverty by itself is not evil, unless it is the product of laziness.
