Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 10:13

Wisdom is found; his wisdom showeth itself in his prudent speeches, by which he escapeth that rod which tools meet with, and gaineth that reputation and advantage to himself which fools lose. A rod is for the back of him, he may expect rebukes and punishments from God and men, that is void of understanding; which he showeth by his foolish words. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 10:14

Wise men lay up, to wit, in their minds and memories, to be brought forth thence upon fit occasions, knowledge; whereby they may be enabled to speak both what and when it is seasonable, for their own or others’ good. The mouth of the foolish is near destruction; fools are more forward to lay out than to lay up, and for want of knowledge speak much and foolishly, whereby they frequently bring destruction upon themselves read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 10:15

Is his strong city; either, 1. Really, as money is called a defence, Ecclesiastes 7:12, because it ofttimes redeems a man from dangers and calamities. Or, 2. In his own conceit, as it is explained, and fully expressed, Proverbs 18:11. It makes him secure and confident. The destruction; it is the cause of their ruin. Or, the contrition, or the terror, or consternation, as others, both ancient and modern, render it. Their poverty takes away their spirit and courage, and fills them with fear and... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 10:16

The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: either, 1. The design of his labour is only this, that he may have wherewith to live honestly, without sinful shifts. Or, 2. The fruit or effect of his labour or industry (as this word labour is most commonly understood, and this best answers to the following clause, where fruit is put instead of this labour) is the preservation and prolongation of this life, and the obtaining of eternal life, to which an honest and conscientious diligence in men’s... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 10:17

The way of life; which leadeth to life and blessedness. That keepeth instruction; that observeth and obeyeth the wholesome counsels of God, and of good men. Erreth, to wit, from the way of life, or into the ways of sin, and so of death; Heb. leadeth into error, or seduceth, to wit, himself, as appears by the opposition of this to the former clause; he wittingly and willingly exposeth himself to temptation and wickedness, because he rejecteth that admonition which is a proper preservative from... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 10:18

With lying lips; with flattering words and false pretences of friendship. And he, Heb. he, i. e both of them, one no less than the other. So he condemneth two opposite vices, secret hatred and manifest slander. Is a fool, because a sinner, and because the mischief of these things will fall upon himself. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 10:19

Men that love and commonly use much talking, do frequently run into many miscarriages, because such persons, for the most part, want wisdom to order their words aright, Ecclesiastes 5:3, and speak hastily, without care and consideration. That refraineth his lips; that forbeareth to utter what cometh into his mind, before he hath weighed whether it be true and fit to be spoken or not. read more

Feed many, by their wise and pious discourses, counsels, and comforts, which are so many evidences of their wisdom. Die for want of wisdom; they have not wisdom to feed or preserve themselves, much less to feed others. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 10:22

Riches are not got by wisdom or diligence, but only by God’s favour and blessing. He addeth no sorrow with it, i.e. with that blessing which gives riches, but gives them content and comfort in their riches, which is a singular gift and blessing of God, of which see Ecclesiastes 2:24,Ecclesiastes 2:26; Ecclesiastes 3:13; Ecclesiastes 5:18,Ecclesiastes 5:19; whereas the riches which wicked men get are attended with God’s curse, with many discontents, with tormenting cares and fears, with horrors... read more
