Psalm 32:4 (a) This describes the depressing condition of David's heart, and the lack of joy in his soul.

Proverbs 10:5 (b) This figure is used to urge GOD's people to serve Him actively and efficiently while opportunities abound. It is because there will come a day when either old age or external conditions will make it impossible or permissible to serve Him. (See also Proverbs 6:8; Proverbs 30:25).

Proverbs 26:1 (a) Here we see a figure which shows that things may be as incongruous in society as they are in the elements.

Jeremiah 8:20 (b) By this picture in nature we see a wonderful truth in human life. In the summer, crops are produced, the fruit ripens, and at the end of summer they are gathered. The grain is saved, but the stubble, chaff and weeds are left in the field to be destroyed. So it is in life. The harvest day is coming, the summertime of opportunity will be ended, and some will be left outside the door because they are of no value to GOD.

Matthew 24:32 (b) This is a picture of those blessed days that will exist when Israel will be restored as a nation, and like the fig tree will again bear fruit for GOD. (See also Mark 13:28; Luke 21:30).
