SEV Biblia, Chapter 12:24

¶ La mano de los diligentes se enseñoreará; mas la negligencia será tributaria.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 12:24

Verse 24. The hand of the diligent shall bear rule ] And why? because by his own industry he is independent; and every such person is respected wherever found.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 24. The hand of the diligent shall bear rule , etc.] “Shall become rich”, so Jarchi interprets it, according to ( Proverbs 10:4); Through diligence men get riches, and through riches they arrive to power and authority over others: from apprentices and journeymen workmen they become masters of their business; diligent men become masters of families, and have servants and workmen under them; become magistrates in cities, and bear rule over their fellow citizens, and are advanced to places of power and authority in the commonwealth; (see Proverbs 22:29); but the slothful shall be under tribute ; the “slothful” or “deceitful hand” f348 , for so it may be rendered and supplied; for usually such who are slothful, and do not care for business, get their living by deceitful methods, by tricking and sharping; and such become subject to others, to them that are diligent; hence said to be “under tribute”, or tributary; because those that are tributary are in subjection to those to whom they pay tribute.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 24 - Those who will not take pains in an honest calling, living by trick and dishonesty, are paltry and beggarly.
