And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.

Verse 31 is found in chapter 24 of Proverbs. These words of the wise condemn partial judgments and judicial corruption. Declaring the guilty innocent or the righteous guilty has serious social consequences. The text also values open rebuke and sincere friendship. Finally, the scene of the lazy man’s field shows how neglect produces ruin gradually: poverty arrives like a thief when lack of diligence continues without correction.

und siehe, da waren eitel Nesseln darauf, und er stand voll Disteln, und die Mauer war eingefallen.
Y he aquí que por toda ella habían ya crecido espinas, Ortigas habían ya cubierto su haz, Y su cerca de piedra estaba ya destruida.
Estaba todo cubierto de espinos; las ortigas cubrían el terreno y el muro de piedra estaba derribado.
Et voici, les épines y croissaient partout, Les ronces en couvraient la face, Et le mur de pierres était écroulé.
Ed ecco, amendue erano tutti montati in ortiche, I cardi ne aveano coperto il disopra, E la lor chiusura di pietre era ruinata.
Eis que estava toda cheia de cardos, e a sua superfície coberta de urtiga, e o seu muro de pedras estava derrubado.
看哪,它長滿了荊棘, 蕁麻蓋地面, 石牆也坍塌了。
