Proverbs 28:19

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread,.... Or, "shall he filled" or "satisfied with bread" : shall have bread enough, and to spare; provisions of all sorts, and in great plenty;See Gill on "Pr 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]" ; he shall be exceeding poor, reduced to the utmost distress, be clothed in rags and destitute of daily food.
