Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

30, 31. A striking picture of the effects of sloth.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

24:30-34. See what a blessing the husbandman's calling is, and what a wilderness this earth would be without it. See what great difference there is in the management even of worldly affairs. Sloth and self-indulgence are the bane of all good. When we see fields overgrown with thorns and thistles, and the fences broken down, we see an emblem of the far more deplorable state of many souls. Every vile affection grows in men's hearts; yet they compose themselves to sleep. Let us show wisdom by doubling our diligence in every good thing.


Proverbs 6:32 The one who commits adultery with a woman is lacking sense; He who would destroy himself does it. (NASB ©1995)
