Verse 9
(9) He that is despised.—That is, lowly in his eyes and those of others, as David (1 Samuel 18:23); if “he hath a servant,” that is, if he be in easy circumstances. It has been remarked that “the first necessity of an Oriental in only moderate circumstances is a slave.”
He that honoureth himself.—Boasts of his pedigree, it may be, and is all the while starving.
Be the first to react on this!
