Industry and Wisdom in Managing What We Have

This section teaches that both hard work and wise management are important. Even a small amount can become enough if used well, but a large amount can be lost through poor decisions.

v. 23: Hard work can make a big difference, even for those who have little. Much food is in the tillage of the poor . Poor farmers who work hard and use their land wisely can provide well for themselves. Some people say they cannot succeed because they have little, but if they use what they have with skill and effort, it can be enough. On the other hand, having a lot does not guarantee success. There is that is destroyed for want of judgment (Proverbs 13:23 ^a). Some people lose everything because they do not manage their resources wisely. They may spend too much, make bad decisions, or neglect what they have. Without good judgment, even a large estate can be ruined, and families can end up in need.
