The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 10:4

That dealeth with a stack hand; that is lazy and indolent (comp. Proverbs 6:10 , Proverbs 6:11 ; see on Proverbs 19:15 ). The Septuagint, with a different pointing, reads, "Poverty humbleth a man." The hand of the diligent ( Proverbs 12:24 ) maketh rich. The words for "hand" are different in the two clauses as Wordsworth remarks. The first word is caph , the open, ineffective, hand or palm; the second term is yad , the hand tense and braced for vigorous work. The LXX .... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 10:4

Diligence Of late it has become fashionable to claim a cheap reputation for loftiness of moral aims by sneering at what are called the "smug virtues." There is a great deal about these despised virtues in the Book of Proverbs, and consequently a very low estimate is formed of that portion of Scripture. But is there not something hollow about this assumption of ethical elevation? It cannot be denied that the "smug virtues" have a real obligation. No one would venture to say that they can be... read more

Proverbs 10:3. The Lord will not suffer the righteous to famish Will preserve them from famine, according to his promises, Psalms 34:10, (on which see the note,) and elsewhere; but he casteth away the substance So הות , the word here used, sometimes signifies; or, the wickedness, that is, the wealth gotten by wickedness, as it is rendered Psalms 52:7; of the wicked Who by that means shall be exposed to want and famine.

Proverbs 10:4. He becometh poor Probably by slow degrees; that dealeth with a slack hand Who is negligent and slothful in his business. Hebrew, כ Š רמיה , with a deceitful hand, so called, partly because it seems, or pretends to do something, when, in truth, it doth nothing; and partly because such persons usually endeavour to maintain themselves by deceit and wickedness, instead of doing it by honest labour and diligence. But the hand of the diligent maketh rich Not by itself, nor... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Proverbs 10:1-32

10:1-22:16PROVERBS OF SOLOMONThe proverbs in this section are usually written in a simple two-line form, each proverb usually being equal to one verse in our Bible. Although the editor of the book has in parts brought together proverbs dealing with a similar subject or principle, each proverb must be considered by itself.Clearly there is not enough space in a commentary of this size to explain each separate proverb. Readers will gain most benefit from Proverbs by reading it over a period (for... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Proverbs 10:3

"Jehovah will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish; But he thrusteth away the desire of the wicked."Note that it is not particularly the body of the righteous, but his soul that shall not famish. The NIV misses this significant difference. "The Lord does not let the righteous go hungry, but he thwarts the craving of the wicked."[6] read more
