Explanation preview
These verses come from a collection of sayings of the wise, and here the speaker describes what he saw while passing by the field of a lazy man. The thorns and thistles covering the ground show that the land had gone untended for a long time, and the broken stone wall, the very boundary meant to protect the vineyard, had been left unrepaired.
