(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)
This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
7 For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God:
Ver. 7. And bringeth forth herbs] So the fruitful Christian (that, watered with the word and Spirit, bringeth forth a harvest of holiness) shall receive the blessing of increase, Joh_15:2. Such trees as brought forth fruit fit for meat were not to be destroyed, Deu_20:19; but trees that were not for fruit were for the fire, Mat_3:10. The earth thankfully returns her burden to the painful tiller. Let earth teach earth: terram quam terimus, terram quam gerimus, the earth we tear, the earth we bear.
