Proverbs 24:31

And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.

Lo, it was all grown over (literally, it ascended) with thorns. The face of the field, which had been low, seemed to have, as it were, ascended by reason of the thorns which shot up.

And the stone wall thereof was broken down. The boundary walls were formed of loose stones without cement, which, if not from time to time repaired, would soon tumble down.
