Proverbs 27:18 in the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible reads:
"Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured."
This proverb conveys two parallel ideas:
1. "Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof":
This part suggests that those who take care of their resources (in this case, a fig tree) will reap the benefits of their labor. It emphasizes the importance of diligence and responsibility.
2. "So he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured":
This second part draws a comparison to the first, implying that just as tending a fig tree leads to enjoying its fruit, serving one's master faithfully leads to honor and reward.
The overall meaning of this proverb is that diligent work and faithful service are rewarded. It encourages people to be responsible in their duties, whether in managing their own affairs or in serving others, with the expectation that such dedication will lead to positive outcomes.
This proverb reflects common themes in the Book of Proverbs, which often emphasizes the value of hard work, loyalty, and the connection between one's actions and their consequences.
