SEV Biblia, Chapter 15:14

Y cuando todo lo hubo malgastado, vino una gran hambre en aquella provincia, y le comenz a faltar.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Luke 15:14

Verse 14. A mighty famine in that land] As he was of a profligate turn of mind himself, it is likely he sought out a place where riot and excess were the ruling characteristics of the inhabitants; and, as poverty is the sure consequence of prodigality, it is no wonder that famine preyed on the whole country.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 11-16 - The parable of the prodigal son shows the nature of repentance, and the Lord's readiness to welcome and bless all who return to him. It full sets forth the riches of gospel grace; and it has been, and will be while the world stands, of unspeakable use to poor sinners, to direc and to encourage them in repenting and returning to God. It is bad, an the beginning of worse, when men look upon God's gifts as debts due to them. The great folly of sinners, and that which ruins them, is, being content in their life-time to receive their good things. Our firs parents ruined themselves and all their race, by a foolish ambition to be independent, and this is at the bottom of sinners' persisting in their sin. We may all discern some features of our own characters in that of the prodigal son. A sinful state is of departure and distanc from God. A sinful state is a spending state: wilful sinners misemplo their thoughts and the powers of their souls, mispend their time an all their opportunities. A sinful state is a wanting state. Sinner want necessaries for their souls; they have neither food nor raimen for them, nor any provision for hereafter. A sinful state is a vile slavish state. The business of the devil's servants is to make provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof, and that is n better than feeding swine. A sinful state is a state constan discontent. The wealth of the world and the pleasures of the sense will not even satisfy our bodies; but what are they to precious souls A sinful state is a state which cannot look for relief from an creature. In vain do we cry to the world and to the flesh; they have that which will poison a soul, but have nothing to give which will fee and nourish it. A sinful state is a state of death. A sinner is dead i trespasses and sins, destitute of spiritual life. A sinful state is lost state. Souls that are separated from God, if his mercy preven not, will soon be lost for ever. The prodigal's wretched state, onl faintly shadows forth the awful ruin of man by sin. Yet how few ar sensible of their own state and character!

Vincent's NT Word Studies

14. Spent. See on cost, ch. xiv. 28.

In that land. Want is characteristic of the "far country." The prodigal feels the evil of his environment. "He (with a shade of emphasis) began to be in want."

To be in want (ustereisqai). From usterov, behind. Compare our phrase of one in straitened circumstances, to fall behind.

Robertson's NT Word Studies

15:14 {When he had spent} (dapanesantos autou). Genitive absolute. The verb is here used in a bad sense as in #Jas 4:3. See on dapane Lu 14:28. {He} (autos). Emphasis. {To be in want} (hustereisqai). The verb is from husteros, behind or later (comparative). We use "fall behind" (Vincent) of one in straitened circumstances. Plummer notes the coincidences of Providence. The very land was in a famine when the boy had spent all.
