“He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth.”
King James Version (KJV)
10:15 Wealth - It often redeems him from dangers and calamities. Poverty - Is the cause of their ruin.
10:16 The labour - The fruit of his labour, to the preservation of this life, and obtaining eternal life. Fruit - The fruit of all their labour tends to sin, and serves only for fuel to mens pride and luxury.
10:18 Lying lips - With flattering words. He here condemns two opposite vices, secret hatred, and manifest slander.
