Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured.

Verse 18 is found in chapter 27 of Proverbs. Faithful work is illustrated through one who tends a fig tree and eventually receives its fruit. The human heart also reflects what it truly contains, just as water reflects a face. Silver and gold can be tested repeatedly, but deeply rooted folly is difficult to separate from the fool. The section emphasizes the need to examine character rather than circumstances alone.

Wer seinen Feigenbaum bewahrt, der ißt Früchte davon; und wer seinen Herrn bewahrt, wird geehrt.
El que guarda la higuera, comerá su fruto; Y el que guarda a su señor, será honrado.
Quien cuida la higuera comerá su fruto, y quien atiende a su señor recibirá honor.
Celui qui soigne un figuier en mangera le fruit, Et celui qui garde son maître sera honoré.
Chi guarda il fico ne mangia il frutto; Così chi guarda il suo signore sarà onorato
O que cuida da figueira comerá do seu fruto; e o que atenta para o seu senhor será honrado.
看守無花果樹的,必吃樹上的果子; 敬奉主人的,必得尊榮。
