NETBible

The one who works his land will be satisfied with food,¹ but whoever chases daydreams² will have his fill³ of poverty.

NET Notes

¹tn Or “will have plenty of food” (Heb “bread”); so NAB, NASB, NCV.

²tn Heb “empty things” or “vain things”; NRSV “follows worthless pursuits.”

²sn Prosperity depends on diligent work and not on chasing empty dreams. The proverb is essentially the same as Prov 12:11 except for the last expression.

³tn The repetition of the verb strengthens the contrast. Both halves of the verse use the verb יִשְׂבַּע (yisba’, “will be satisfied; will be filled with; will have enough”). It is positive in the first colon, but negative in the second – with an ironic twist to say one is “satisfied” with poverty.
