PROVERBS 24:27 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself in the field; and afterwards build thine house.”
Put your outdoor work in order and get your fields ready; after that, build your house—an exhortation to proper sequencing of priorities, establishing that provision must precede establishment of household. The sequence (work, fields, house) suggests that one must secure livelihood before expanding commitments. The theological significance involves the principle of prudent ordering of life.
