Proverbs 12:11

New International Version

¹¹Those who work their land will have abundant food,
but those who chase fantasies have no sense.^(A)

¹¹^(A)Whoever works his land ^(B)will have plenty of bread,
^(C)but he who follows ^(D)worthless pursuits lacks sense.

¹¹He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding.
