SEV Biblia, Chapter 13:19
¶ El deseo cumplido deleita el alma; pero apartarse del mal es abominación a los locos.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 13:19
Verse 19. The desire accomplished ] See on ver. 12.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 19. The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul , etc.] Whether the desire be after riches and honour, after wisdom and knowledge; or after the best things, the knowledge of God, and communion with him; an interest in Christ, and the blessings of his grace, as pardon, righteousness, etc. and a right and title to eternal glory and happiness, and the enjoyment of that: and how sweet are these things the soul desires, when they are possessed! (see Proverbs 13:12); such are “the desires of the godly”, as the Septuagint render the word; but [it is] abomination to fools to depart from evil ; they cannot bear the thoughts of parting with their lusts; they are so delightful to them, not knowing anything of the sweetness of the things before mentioned; and which they can never enjoy without departing from sin, to which they are exceedingly averse.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 19 - There are in man strong desires after happiness; but never let thos expect any thing truly sweet to their souls, who will not be persuade to leave their sins.
