PROVERBS—NOTE ON Proverbs 24:30 These verses illustrate how proverbs are applied. Upon walking by a field and vineyard that has fallen into ruin through laziness (vv. Proverbs 24:30), the observer rightly recognizes (v. Proverbs 24:32) that the wise instruction he has heard about the sluggard applies to this situation (vv. Proverbs 24:33 are identical to Proverbs 6:10). Both the observer and the reader are encouraged to believe that ongoing labor is a part of the path of wisdom.
