Verse 11. He that tilleth his land, shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth the idle, is destitute of understanding.
Verse 11. He that tilleth his land, shall bee satisfied with bread: but he that followeth the idle, is destitute of vnderstanding.
HE that tilleth his land, which is industrious and faithful to do good in any honest vocation, shall be satisfied with bread, shall have competency of all things that are needful for him: but he that followeth the idle, vain fellows, which give themselves to no good trade or occupation, and is idle as they are, is ⟨p. 145⟩destitute of understanding, playeth the fool, and shall feel the smart and pain of it.
