Scriptural Encouragement & Exhortation

 

Wisdom from Proverbs: Diligence

 

Poor is he who works with a negligent hand, but the hand of the diligent makes rich…A faithful man will abound with blessings, but he who makes haste to be rich will not go unpunished…A man with an evil eye hastens after wealth and does not know that want will come upon him…Wealth obtained by fraud dwindles, but the one who gathers by labor increases it…An inheritance gained hurriedly at the beginning will not be blessed in the end…The hand of the diligent will rule, but the slack hand will be put to forced labor…A lazy man does not roast his prey, but the precious possession of a man is diligence…The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, but the soul of the diligent is made fat…He who tills his land will have plenty of bread, but he who pursues worthless things lacks sense…He who tills his land will have plenty of food, but he who follows empty pursuits will have poverty in plenty…In all labor there is profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty…The plans of the diligent lead surely to advantage, but everyone who is hasty comes surely to poverty…Watch over your heart with all diligence, for from it flow the springs of life.
