She considers a field, and buys it: with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard.
Read Chapter 31
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
After saying, “Being farsighted she has bought a field,” as though you were to say, “What did she buy it with?” it adds, “With the fruit of her hands she has planted a property.” … The property it means, you see, lies in the future; that was suggested by the word farsighted.
