What does Proverbs 27:26 mean?
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Proverbs 27:25-27
25-27. The fact that providential arrangements furnish the means of competence to those who properly use them is another motive to diligence (compare Psa 65:9-13). The hay appeareth--literally, "Grass appeareth" (Job 40:15; Psa 104:14).

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on Proverbs 27:23-27
We ought to have some business to do in this world, and not to live in idleness, and not to meddle with what we do not understand. We must be diligent and take pains. Let us do what we can, still the world cannot be secured to us, therefore we must choose a more lasting portion; but by the blessing of God upon our honest labours, we may expect to enjoy as much of earthly blessings as is good for us.
