Proverbs 12:11

Proverbs 12:11 The Message (MSG)

The one who stays on the job has food on the table; the witless chase whims and fancies.

He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: But he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding.

He who tills his land will have plenty of bread, But he who pursues worthless things lacks sense.

Those who work their land will have plenty of food, but the one who chases empty dreams is not wise.

He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread; But he that followeth after vain persons is void of understanding.

Those who work their land will have abundant food, but those who chase fantasies have no sense.

He who tills his land will be satisfied with bread, But he who follows frivolity is devoid of understanding.

He who tills his land will have plenty of bread, But he who follows worthless things lacks common sense and good judgment.

A hard worker has plenty of food, but a person who chases fantasies has no sense.

Work hard at your job and you’ll have what you need. Following a get-rich-quick scheme is nothing but a fantasy.

Whoever works his land will have plenty of bread, but he who follows worthless pursuits lacks sense.
