Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Proverbs 10:5

_ _ son — as Proverbs 1:8, Proverbs 1:10, and often.

_ _ sleepeth — in indolence, and not for rest.

_ _ causeth shame — literally, “is base” (compare Proverbs 14:35; Proverbs 17:2).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

Proverbs 10:5

_ _ Here is, 1. The just praise of those who improve their opportunities, who take pains to gather and increase what they have, both for soul and body, who provide for hereafter while provision is to be made, who gather in summer, which is gathering time. He who does so is a wise son, and it is his honour; he acts wisely for his parents, whom, if there be occasion, he ought to maintain, and he gives reputation to himself, his family, and his education. 2. The just reproach and blame of those who trifle away these opportunities: He who sleeps, loves his ease, idles away his time, and neglects his work, especially who sleeps in harvest, when he should be laying in for winter, who lets slip the season of furnishing himself with that which he will have occasion for, is a son that causes shame; for he is a foolish son; he prepares shame for himself when winter comes, and reflects shame upon all his friends. He who gets knowledge and wisdom in the days of his youth gathers in summer, and he will have the comfort and credit of his industry; but he who idles away the days of his youth will bear the shame of his indolence when he is old.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Proverbs 10:5

Gathereth — The fruits of his field. In summer — In harvest. He that improved the opportunities of doing good to himself and others.
