Bible reading: Proverbs 21
“The thoughts of the diligent tend to plenteousness; but of everyone that is hasty only to want” – Proverbs 21:5 (KJV)
The thoughts of the diligent [tend] only to plenteousness; A man that is thoughtful and studious, and wisely forms schemes in his mind, and diligently pursues them; generally speaking the product of these is prosperity and plenty. Such a man is usually thriving and flourishing; and this holds true in things spiritual, as well as in things temporal, ( Matthew 25:29 ). But of everyone [that is] hasty only to want; i.e. in haste to be rich, and is resolved to be so, right or wrong, he comes at last to poverty and want: or he who is rash and precipitate in acting, who never thinks before he acts, but rashly engages in an affair; or, however, does not give himself time enough to think it over, but, as soon as it has entered his thoughts, he immediately attempts to put it in execution; a man so thoughtless and inconsiderate, so rash and hasty, brings himself and family to poverty; see (Proverbs 20:21 )
