I saw that it was overgrown with nettles. It was covered with weeds, and its walls were broken down.
Proverbs 24:31
“But let us look at the spiritual sluggard. If a neglected field is a melancholy sight, what is a neglected soul! Such a soul, when it is left to its own barrenness, instead of being sown with the seeds of grace, becomes overgrown with thorns and nettles.” - Charles Bridges
The owner of the field thought, “My field is in order. Everything is as it should be, so…”
While he was taking some time off,…
“Rest assured of that; the best will become the worse if we neglect it. Neglect is all that is needed to produce evil. If you want to know the way of salvation, I must take some pains to tell you; but if you want to know the way to be lost, my reply is easy; for it is only a matter of negligence.” - Charles Spurgeon
Like Jesus, Solomon wanted people to know the truth.
In this way, you may know the truth and take an accurate report to those who sent you.
Proverbs 22:21
And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.Â
John 8:32
