Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

32-34. From the folly of the sluggard learn wisdom (Pr 6:10, 11).

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 24:31 And behold, it was completely overgrown with thistles; Its surface was covered with nettles, And its stone wall was broken down.
Proverbs 24:33 "A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to rest," (NASB ©1995)
