And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.
Ver. 37. And sow the fields, and plant vineyards] These are noble employments, such as the ancient patriarchs were much in, and the most honourable among the Romans, as Coriolanus, Marcus Curius, Cato Major, &c. Our forefathers, if they could call any one bonum eolonum, a good husbandman, they thought it praise enough, saith Cicero.
Which may yield] The thankful earth yielding, by God's blessing, her gratum onus, full burden to the laborious tiller.
