Gill's Notes on the Bible
Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof,.... 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" k, his person from danger, and his goods faithfully committed to his trust; or "that observes his master" l, 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.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Waiteth - literally, âkeepeth,â âobserveth.â As the fig tree requires constant care but yields abundant crops, so the ministrations of a faithful servant will not be without their due reward. Compare 2 Timothy 2:6.
