Proverbs 27:18 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Whoso keepeth the fig-tree That is, looks after it, and preserves it from suffering by drought, by vermin, or by wild beasts, &c.; shall eat the fruit thereof Shall partake of its pleasant fruit in due time; so he that waiteth on his master That serves him faithfully, prudently, and diligently; shall be honoured Shall receive that respect and recompense which he deserves. He mentions the fig-tree, because such trees abounded in Canaan, and were valued and regarded more than other trees.

Proverbs 27:18

18 Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured.
