This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Pro_28:19 He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain [persons] shall have poverty enough.
Ver. 19. He that tilleth his land shall have plenty.] At fugiens molam fugit farinam: Men must earn it ere they eat it; and not think that bread and other good things will drop out of the clouds to them, as towns were said to come in to Timotheus’s toils while he slept. {a} See Pro_12:11.
Shall have poverty enough.] As the prodigal had, {Luk_15:13-17} and Pythius, who in a bravery entertained Xerxes’s whole army, but was so poor at length that he perished through want of meat.
{a} Plut. in Sulla.
