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

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹¹Those who till their land will have plenty of food,
but those who follow worthless pursuits have no sense.^(A)

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

²⁴The hand of the diligent will rule,
while 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 do not roast^[a] their game,
but the diligent obtain precious wealth.^[b]
