SEV Biblia, Chapter 24:32
Y yo miré, y lo puse en mi corazón; lo vi, y tomé castigo.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 32. Then I saw, [and] considered it well , etc.] Or, “when I saw, I considered it well”; or “set my heart it” f674 ; when he saw as he passed along the field and the vineyard, he, considered who was the owner and proprietor of them; what a sluggish and foolish man he was, and what a ruinous condition his field and vineyard were in. I looked upon [it, and] received instruction ; looked at it again, and took a thorough view of it, and learned something from it; so great and wise a man as Solomon received instruction from the field and vineyard of the slothful and foolish man; learned to be wiser, and to be more diligent in cultivating his own field, and dressing his own vineyard: so from the view and consideration of the slothfulness and folly of unregenerate man, and of the state and condition of his soul, many lessons of instruction may be learned; as that there is no free will and wisdom in men with respect to that which is good; the ruinous state and condition of men, as being all overspread with sin and corruption, in all the powers and faculties of their souls; and that there is nothing in them agreeable to God, but all the reverse; also the necessity of divine grace to put them into a good state, and make them fruitful; moreover, the distinguishing grace of God, which makes others to differ from them; and likewise it is teaching and instructive to good men to use more diligence themselves in things relating to their spiritual good, and to the glory of God.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 30-34 - See what a blessing the husbandman's calling is, and what a wildernes this earth would be without it. See what great difference there is in the management even of worldly affairs. Sloth and self-indulgence ar the bane of all good. When we see fields overgrown with thorns an thistles, and the fences broken down, we see an emblem of the far mor deplorable state of many souls. Every vile affection grows in men' hearts; yet they compose themselves to sleep. Let us show wisdom by doubling our diligence in every good thing __________________________________________________________________
