| Proverbs 10:4
| The slothful hand hath wrought poverty: but the hand of the industrious getteth riches.
| Poverty. Even of those who had plenty. This is true in a spiritual sense likewise. (Calmet) --- The kingdom of heaven suffereth violence. (Haydock) --- Otiositas mater nugarum, noverca virtutum. (St. Bernard, consid. ii.) --- He, etc. This is not in Hebrew, Greek, St. Jerome, or in several Latin copies. (Calmet) --- We find it in the Septuagint, Proverbs 9:13. --- Away. He derives no benefits from lies. (Menochius)
