Proverbs 12:11 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 12:11
He that tills his land shall be satisfied with bread, but he that follows vain persons is void of understanding. Farming one's land brings satisfaction through honest labor. Following worthless people (reqim - empty persons) demonstrates lack of sense. The contrast is between productive labor and wasted time pursuing or imitating foolish persons. Work brings satisfaction; idleness pursuing fools brings want.
