“A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.”
King James Version (KJV)
27:10 Neither go - For comfort and relief, so as to forsake thy friend for him. A neighbour - The friend, who hath shewed himself to be a good neighbour. Near - In affection.
27:11 Reproacheth - For being the father of a wicked son.
27:14 Blesseth - That praises him to his face. A loud voice - That both he, and others, may be sure to take notice of it. Rising early - To shew his great forwardness. A curse - His friend will value this kind of blessing no more than a curse.
