Proverbs 12:11 ESV

Whoever works his land will have plenty of bread,

but he who follows worthless pursuits lacks sense.

In this verse God reminds us to focus on our land and work diligently, and refrain from worthless pursuits. Our land is our business, our company, our field where we earn our income. God gives us the land, and we have to tend it well, put consistent effort into it. Then we will have plenty of bread.

Additionally, we have to refrain from pursuing useless things which cost time & money without any benefits. They may be fun & pleasing, but eventually will harm us & distract us from our important work.
