The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the LORD. *Perverteth* — Blasts his designs and enterprises. *Fretteth* — He ascribes his unhappiness not to his own sin, but to God and his providence. Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts. *A friend* — in profession. All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him. *Brethren* — His nearest relations. *Hate* — Despise and shun him. *Pursueth* — Earnestly imploring their pity. Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes. *Delight* — To live in pleasure and outward glory, doth not become him, nor suit with him; because prosperity corrupts even wise men, and makes fools mad; and because it gives him more opportunity to discover his folly, and to do mischief both to himself and others. A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping. *Dropping* — Are like rain continually dropping upon an house. Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger. *Casteth* — Makes a man careless, and like one asleep in his business. He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die. *His ways* — The commands of God. Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying. *While* — Before custom in sin, and thy indulgence have made him incorrigible. *Let not* — Forbear not to give him due and necessary correction. A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliver him, yet thou must do it again. *Great wrath* — Of strong passions. *Deliver* — If thou forbear to punish him. *Do it* — Thou must deliver him again and again. The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar. *The desire* — The hearty desire of being kind is accepted by God, and should be owned by men as a real kindness. *A poor man* — Who is not able to give what he desires to do. *A liar* — Than a rich man who feeds the poor with fair promises, but doth not perform what he pretends. The fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil. *Satisfied* — Shall be fully contented with God's favour and blessing. A slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again. *Bring it* — To feed himself; he expects that the meat should drop into his mouth. Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge. *Scorner* — An obstinate and impudent transgressor. *Simple* — Who sin thro' ignorance, being possibly drawn to it by the scorner's evil counsel or example. *Reprove* — A verbal reproof will be more effectual for his reformation, than the severest punishments will be to a scorner. He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach. *Wasteth* — His father's estate. *Chaseth* — Causes her to avoid his presence, and to go from the house where he is. An ungodly witness scorneth judgment: and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity. *Scorneth* — Hath no reverence to the place of justice, nor to the presence of God there. *Devoureth* — Utters it with greediness and delight. Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools. *Prepared* — Although they be deferred for a time, yet they are treasured up for them. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com","name":"Real Bible Believers","description":"RBB","publisher":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/search?q={search_term_string}","query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/wesleys-explanatory-notes/proverbs/19#primaryimage","inLanguage":"en-US","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/images/missing.jpg","contentUrl":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/images/missing.jpg","width":640,"height":370,"caption":"Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Proverbs 19"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/wesleys-explanatory-notes/proverbs/19#webpage","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/wesleys-explanatory-notes/proverbs/19","name":"Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Proverbs 19","isPartOf":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/wesleys-explanatory-notes/proverbs/19#primaryimage"},"datePublished":null,"dateModified":null,"author":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"description":"Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.
