Charles Ellicott Commentary Proverbs 13:23

"Much food [is in] the tillage of the poor; But there is that is destroyed by reason of injustice." — Proverbs 13:23 (ASV)

Tillage. — Properly, the newly-made field, on which much labour has been expended. The poor hardworking man, by God’s blessing, gains an abundant living, while many (rich persons) are ruined for their neglect of what is right.
