箴言 27:18 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 27:18

Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof
That takes care of a fig tree, either his own or another's, planted in his garden or vineyard; see ( Luke 13:6 ) ; who cultivates it, digs about and dungs it, and prunes it, and does everything necessary to it; when it brings forth fruit, and that is ripe and fit to eat, he eats of it, as it is but just he should; see ( 1 Corinthians 9:7 ) ; so he that waiteth on his master;
or "that keeps his master" ^F11, his person from danger, and his goods faithfully committed to his trust; or "that observes his master" ^F12, that looks to his hand, observes his motions, directions, and commands; shall be honoured;
as Joseph was in Potiphar's house, and elsewhere; and as all those are who observe the commandments of God, and are the servants of Christ; see ( 1 Samuel 2:30 ) ( John 12:26 ) .
