Proverbs 28:19

He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread ,.... Or, "shall he filled" or "satisfied with bread" F19 ישבע לחם "saturabitur pane", Pagninus, Montanus, Mercerus, Gejerus, Schultens. : shall have bread enough, and to spare; provisions of all sorts, and in great plenty; See Gill 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 " F20 ישבע "satiabitur", Tigurine version, Mercerus, Cocceius, Michaelis; "saturabitur", Pagninus, Montanus, Gejerus, Schultens. ; he shall be exceeding poor, reduced to the utmost distress, be clothed in rags and destitute of daily food.
