SEV Biblia, Chapter 27:18

¶ El que guarda la higuera, comerá su fruto; y el que guarda a su señor, será honrado.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 18. Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof , etc.] That takes care of a fig tree, either his own or another’s, planted in his garden or vineyard; (see Luke 13:6); who cultivates it, digs about and dungs it, and prunes it, and does everything necessary to it; when it brings forth fruit, and that is ripe and fit to eat, he eats of it, as it is but just he should; (see 1 Corinthians 9:7); so he that waiteth on his master ; or “that keeps his master” f757 , his person from danger, and his goods faithfully committed to his trust; or “that observes his master” f758 , that looks to his hand, observes his motions, directions, and commands; shall be honoured ; as Joseph was in Potiphar’s house, and elsewhere; and as all those are who observe the commandments of God, and are the servants of Christ; (see 1 Samuel 2:30 John 12:26).

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 18 - Though a calling be laborious and despised, yet those who keep to it will find there is something to be got by it. God is a Master who ha engaged to honour those who serve him faithfully.
