Proverbs 12:11

New Living Translation

¹¹A hard worker has plenty of food,
but a person who chases fantasies has no sense.

Proverbs 12:11

International Standard Version

¹¹Whoever tills his soil will have a lot to eat,
but anyone who pursues fantasies lacks sense.^[a]

²⁴Work hard and become a leader;
be lazy and become a slave.

²⁴The diligent will take control,
but the lazy will be put to forced labor.

²⁷Lazy people don’t even cook the game they catch,
but the diligent make use of everything they find.

²⁷The lazy person does not roast what he has hunted,
but diligence is one’s most important possession.
