PROVERBS 24:31 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.”
Thorns had come up everywhere, the ground was covered with weeds, and the stone wall was in ruins—a detailed description of the sluggard's field, establishing that abandonment produces degradation. The progression from thorns to weeds to collapsed wall suggests total ruin. The theological significance involves the principle that neglect produces destruction.
