He who tills his land will have plenty of bread,
But he who pursues worthless things lacks sense.

He who tills his land will have plenty of food,
But he who follows empty pursuits will have poverty in plenty.

They gave him seventy pieces of silver from the house of Baal-berith with which Abimelech hired worthless and reckless fellows, and they followed him.

By the sweat of your face
You will eat bread,
Till you return to the ground,
Because from it you were taken;
For you are dust,
And to dust you shall return.”

I do not sit with deceitful men,
Nor will I go with pretenders.

When you shall eat of the fruit of your hands,
You will be happy and it will be well with you.

My son, if sinners entice you,
Do not consent.

Do not enter the path of the wicked
And do not proceed in the way of evil men.

The one who commits adultery with a woman is lacking sense;
He who would destroy himself does it.

And I saw among the naive,
And discerned among the youths
A young man lacking sense,

Forsake your folly and live,
And proceed in the way of understanding.”

The woman of folly is boisterous,
She is naive and knows nothing.

Whoever is naive, let him turn in here,”
And to him who lacks understanding she says,

He who walks with wise men will be wise,
But the companion of fools will suffer harm.

Abundant food is in the fallow ground of the poor,
But it is swept away by injustice.

Where no oxen are, the manger is clean,
But much revenue comes by the strength of the ox.

In all labor there is profit,
But mere talk leads only to poverty.

And there will be goats’ milk enough for your food,
For the food of your household,
And sustenance for your maidens.

“Those who regard vain idols
Forsake their faithfulness,

He who steals must steal no longer; but rather he must labor, performing with his own hands what is good, so that he will have something to share with one who has need.

and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life and attend to your own business and work with your hands, just as we commanded you,

nor did we eat anyone’s bread without paying for it, but with labor and hardship we kept working night and day so that we would not be a burden to any of you;

For there are many rebellious men, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision,
