Spiritual Foundations

What does the Bible say about "optimization"?

A slack hand causes poverty, but the hand of the diligent makes rich.
Proverbs 10:4

That seems like common sense. Does it say more?

The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied.
Proverbs 13:4

And here's one more …

Know well the condition of your flocks,
and give attention to your herds,
24 for riches do not last forever;
and does a crown endure to all generations?
25 When the grass is gone and the new growth appears
and the vegetation of the mountains is gathered,
26 the lambs will provide your clothing,
and the goats the price of a field.
27 There will be enough goats' milk for your food,
for the food of your household
and maintenance for your girls.
Proverbs 27:23-27
