28:19The one who works his land will be satisfied with food,53
but whoever chases daydreams54 will have his fill55 of poverty.
Footnotes
- 53 Or “will have plenty of food” (Heb “bread”); so , , .
- 54 Heb “empty things” or “vain things”; “follows worthless pursuits.” Prosperity depends on diligent work and not on chasing empty dreams. The proverb is essentially the same as Prov 12:11 except for the last expression.
- 55 The repetition of the verb strengthens the contrast. Both halves of the verse use the verb יִשְׂבַּע (yisba’, “will be satisfied; will be filled with; will have enough”). It is positive in the first colon, but negative in the second—with an ironic twist to say one is “satisfied” with poverty.
