Wesley's Notes for Proverbs 14:2

14:1 Buildeth - Maintains and improves her family and estate. Her hands - By her idleness or sin.

14:3 A rod - His insolent speeches as they are like a rod, offensive to others, so, they make a rod for their own backs.

14:4 The crib - The stable is empty of food for cattle, and much more for man. In the same sense cleanness of teeth is put for famine, #Amos 4:6|. The strength - By their labours, or by diligence in husbandry, which then was principally managed by oxen.
