11) He that tilleth his land shall
be satisfied with bread; but he
that followeth vain person is void
of understanding

HE THAT TILLETH HIS LAND SHALL BE
SATISFIED WITH BREAD
The wise work diligently and provide
adequately for his needs, GOD has ordained
that people’s need be met through their
labor, those who work diligently will have all
they need, that employed his time and
strength in an honest calling, work or
business will have sufficiency of it to eat
BUT THAT FOLLOW VAIN PERSON
That neglects his business, loiters away his
time, spend it in the company of useless,
empty and unprofitable persons as he show
himself by such a choice as people who
spends their energy on schemes to make
money that are vain- worthless and empty,
looking for ways to get rich quick.
The wise though work diligently at tasks
that are productive and profitable, that will
be assured their needs are met, people who
work their land, who till, plant, weed, water,
and harvest, will have food, they are
investing their time and resources in
something that is sure to provides for their
needs

knowledge, but does not care to be at any
pain to get it, and has not; he desire riches,
but chooses not to make use of means, to
be diligent and industrious, he desire to
wear good clothes and rich garment , but is
unwilling to labour for them, and therefore
clothes with rags, he desire food and plenty
of it, but refuse to work for it, the gospel say
if you don’t work you should not eat.
BUT THE SOUL OF THE DILIGENT SHALL BE
MADE FAT
Such who are diligent in the use of means,
constantly attend on the word and
ordinance, and labor for the meat which
endures to eternal life such are filled and
satisfied, and become fat and flourishing,
and fruitful in every good work, he shall be
enriched with the fruit of his own labor

deep sleep; and an idle soul shall
suffer hunger

desirous of sleep, and indulge themselves in
it, they spend their time, day and night, in
sleep and drowsiness and are quite careless
and unconcerned and sleep in business ,
render him useless for labor as if were
actually asleep in his bed
As labor makes men vigorous and rich, so
sloth and idleness have sunk the mind into a
dull stupidity and unconcerned about the
most necessary things, and thereby reduce a
man to extreme want and begging
AND AN IDLE SOUL SHALL SUFFER HUNGER
The idle person that will not work, ought
not to eat; and an idle soul, of one that is
unconcerned about his soul, and the
spiritual food of it shall perish for want of it

reason of the cold; therefore
shall he beg in harvest, and have
nothing

Therefore he shall beg in the time of
harvest, he shall ask of those who have
ploughed and sowed, reaping and gathering
in their increase at harvest; but they shall
not give him, for such that will not work
should not eat; and if a man will not plough
and sow, he cannot expect to reap.
