  1  Observations about fools;
13  about sluggards;
17  and about contentious busy-bodies.


VERSE 1
- in summer.
   * 1Sa 12:17,18
- so.
   * :3; 28:16 Jud 9:7,20,56,57 Es 3:1-15; 4:6,9 Ps 12:8; 15:4
   * Ps 52:1 *title
   * Ec 10:5-7

   * Nu 23:8 De 23:4,5 1Sa 14:28,29; 17:43 2Sa 16:12 Ne 13:2
   * Ps 109:28


VERSE 3
   According to our notions, we should rather say, a bridle for
  the horse, and a whip for the ass; but it should be
  considered, that the Eastern asses are not only much more
  beautiful, but better goers that ours; and being active and
  well broken, they need only a bridle to guide them; whereas
  their horses being scarce, and often caught wild, and badly
  broken, are much less manageable, and need the correction of
  the whip.

   * Pr 10:13; 17:10; 19:25; 27:22 Jud 8:5-7 Ps 32:9 1Co 4:21 2Co 10:6
   * 2Co 13:2

VERSE 4
    * Pr 17:14 Jud 12:1-6 2Sa 19:41-43 1Ki 12:14,16 2Ki 14:8-10
   * 1Pe 2:21-23; 3:9 Jude 1:9


VERSE 5 
 - a fool.
   * 1Ki 22:24-28 Jer 36:17,18 Mt 15:1-3; 16:1-4; 21:23-27; 22:15-32

VERSE 8 
 - bindeth a stone in a sling.  Heb. putteth a precious stone in
  a heap of stones.
  This probably refers, as Coverdale understands it, to the
  custom of throwing a stone to the heap under which a criminal
  was buried.  So the Vulgate, {Sicut qui mittit lapidem in
  acervum Mercurii; ita qui tribuit insipienti honorem,} "As he
  who throws a stone to Mercury's heap, so is he who gives
  honor to a fool."  Mercury was a heathen god of highways;
  and stones were erected in different parts to guide the
  traveller:  hence those lines of Dr. Young,

           "Death stands like Mercuries in every way;
           And kindly points us to our journey's end."

- so.

VERSE 22 
 - words.
   * Pr 18:8; 20:19 Eze 22:9

VERSE 23
   That is, ardent professions of friendship from a wicked
  heart, however smooth, shining, and splendid they may appear,

  says Tacitlus:  and strange to say, in proportion to the
  innocence of the injured.
