Proverbs 28:19 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 28:19

He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread
Or, "shall he filled" or "satisfied with bread" ^F19: 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; he shall be exceeding poor, reduced to the utmost distress, be clothed in rags and destitute of daily food.
