Proverbs 28:19

He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough.

He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread,.... Or, "shall he filled" or "satisfied with bread" {s}: shall have bread enough, and to spare; provisions of all sorts, and in great plenty;

See Gill on "Proverbs 12:11";

but he that followeth, after vain persons; empty idle persons; keeps company and spends his time with them, when he should be about the business of his calling:

shall have poverty enough; or be "filled with it" {t}; he shall be exceeding poor, reduced to the utmost distress, be clothed in rags and destitute of daily food.
