George Leo Haydock, on Prov 13:23

“Much food is in the tillage of fathers: but for others it is gathered with out judgment.”

“Fathers. Heirs often lose their property by their misconduct. Hebrew and (Haydock) Chaldean read, “of the poor,” who till their land better than those who have too large farms. (Menochius) — Nature requires but little. (Calmet) — Septuagint, “the just shall spend many years in affluence: but the unjust are cut off at once.” (Haydock)”
