"One who works his land will have an abundance of food; but one who chases fantasies will have his fill of poverty."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread,.... Or, "shall he filled" or "satisfied with bread" (s): shall have bread enough, and to spare; provisions of all sorts,
and in great plenty; See Gill on Pro 12:11 ; but he that followeth, after vain persons; empty idle persons; keeps company and spends his time with them, when he should be about the business of his calling: shall have poverty enough; or be "filled with it" (t); he shall be exceeding poor, reduced to the utmost distress, be clothed in rags and destitute of daily food. (s) "saturabitur pane", Pagninus, Montanus, Mercerus, Gejerus, Schultens. (t) "satiabitur", Tigurine version, Mercerus, Cocceius, Michaelis; "saturabitur", Pagninus, Montanus, Gejerus, Schultens.
