Proverbs 10:10 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

He that winketh with his eye That secretly and cunningly designs mischiefs against others: see on Proverbs 6:13: causeth sorrow To others, and afterward to himself; but Or, and, as it is in the Hebrew; for vice is not here opposed to virtue, as it is in many other proverbs, but one vice is compared with another; a prating fool Who is so far from such deceits, that he runs into the other extreme, and utters all his mind, as is said of the fool, Proverbs 29:11, and thereby speaks many things offensive to others, and mischievous to himself.

Proverbs 10:10

10 He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow: but a prating fool shall fall.c
