He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding.

Verse 11 is found in chapter 12 of Proverbs. The section contrasts productive work with chasing fantasies and shows how words can wound or heal. One who speaks rashly can cause harm like a sword, while the tongue of the wise brings healing. Truth endures, but falsehood is temporary. Wisdom therefore appears as a discipline both of economic actions and of everyday communication.

Wer seinen Acker baut, der wird Brot die Fülle haben; wer aber unnötigen Sachen nachgeht, der ist ein Narr.
El que labra su tierra, se hartará de pan: Mas el que sigue los vagabundos es falto de entendimiento.
Celui qui cultive son champ est rassasié de pain, Mais celui qui poursuit des choses vaines est dépourvu de sens.
Chi lavora la sua terra sarà saziato di pane; Ma chi va dietro agli uomini oziosi è scemo d’intelletto
O que lavra a sua terra se fartará de pão; mas o que segue os ociosos é falto de juízo.
耕種自己田地的,必得飽食; 追求虛浮的,卻是無知。
