Proverbs 14:8 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way It consists not in vain speculations, nor in a curious prying into other men's matters, much less in subtle arts of deceiving others, but in a diligent study of his own duty, and of the way to true and eternal happiness; but the folly of fools is deceit The wit of ungodly men, which, though they account it their wisdom, is really their folly, is employed only in finding out ways of overreaching and deceiving others, and themselves too.

Proverbs 14:8

8 The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools is deceit.
