Matthew Henry Commentary


Matthew Henry Commentary
"The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father; But a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother. Treasures of wickedness profit nothing; But righteousness delivereth from death. Jehovah will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish; But he thrusteth away the desire of the wicked." — Proverbs 10:1-3 (ASV)
God's restraints of the appetite only say, Do thyself no harm.
God does not need to search into anything; nothing can be hidden from him. But it is the honor of rulers to search out matters, to bring to light hidden works of darkness.
