Commentary
Commentary on Proverbs 12:11
Theological / DevotionalVain persons. Heb. reqim. The word means simply, "vanities," or "vain things." "Persons" is a supplied word. A desire to better one's condition is a good quality, but to neglect present tasks to follow a dream, is folly. To do with might what the hand finds to do supplies daily food and leaves one time to pursue other worth-while aims and to prepare for higher service.
