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 comments on Proverbs 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.
