For a servant when he reigneth; and a fool when he is filled with meat;

The commentary is practical, hard-hitting, current, and spiritual.

Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression; the same is the companion of a destroyer.

He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue.
