Commentary on Proverbs 21:5

Theological / Devotional

Thoughts of the diligent. The plans of the hard-working man are likely to bring prosperity because of the efforts put forth, while those of the hasty, careless worker will probably fail even if they are good plans. “Hasty” may also refer to those hasty to become rich (see ch. 28:20).
