 13And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.
 14And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.
 15And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
 16And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.

• In the original Hebrew there is a striking parallelism here. Muenscher gives the rendering, “He who tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread; but he who followeth vain persons shall be satisfied with poverty.” The one, by diligence, shall be filled with what is needful to his building up; the other, because of his folly and neglect, shall be filled with woe, and be as needy as his neighbor is wealthy. It is not chance that thus makes one to prosper, while the other fails. It is simply the difference between patient, steady-going adherence to duty, and the casting-off of restraint and following after the worthless. (“Proverbs Twenty-Eight” by H.A. Ironside)
