Proverbs Commentary

Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand, which bewrayeth itself.

As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death,

He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.

The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.

A man that beareth false witness against his neighbour is a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow.

Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house; lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee.

Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.

Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.

Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:

For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.
