'Pursuits' in the Bible

He who tills his land will have plenty of bread,But he who follows worthless things lacks common sense and good judgment.

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

You must observe the Sabbath rather than doing anything you please on my holy day. You must look forward to the Sabbath and treat the Lord's holy day with respect. You must treat it with respect by refraining from your normal activities, and by refraining from your selfish pursuits and from making business deals.

For the sun comes up with its scorching heat and dries up the grass. The flower in it drops off, and its beauty is gone. That is how the rich person will fade away in his pursuits.
